He discusses how Paul warns the Galatians against returning to the "yoke of slavery" under the law, stressing that salvation comes by grace through faith alone, not by works or rituals like circumcision.

He warns against secular distortions of these concepts and urges believers to live out a love and truth that is rooted in God's Word.
