The book of Galatians—an epistle sometimes referred to as the Magna Carta of the Christian church—gives cause for a deliberate study on the subject of Christian freedom. In this message, Alistair Begg considers to whom, by whom, and for what purpose the letter was written. The essence of the apostle Paul’s message in the introductory verses challenges us to proclaim the good news of lives rescued and transformed by the saving power of Jesus Christ.
1Paul, an aapostle—bnot from men nor through man, but cthrough Jesus Christ and God the Father, dwho raised him from the dead— 2and all ethe brothers1 who are with me,
To fthe churches of Galatia:
3gGrace to you and peace hfrom God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4iwho gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present jevil age, according to the will of kour God and Father, 5to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
