    As we move into chapter 4 and beyond, we'll see that this freedom doesn't lead to sin—it leads to righteousness. Not a righteousness we boast about, but one that flows from the Holy Spirit who now lives in us. “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25).

    We live in a world of extremes. More often than not, we feel pressured into placing our identity in one end of an extreme or the other. The Apostle Paul puts the Law against the Promise to prove to the Galatians, and to us, that our identity should be found in neither. Our identity is to be found in Grace, knowing we are sinners in need of saving who have a Savior in Jesus.

Jesus stepped into our place, taking the judgment, we deserved, so that we could walk free.

    The return of Christ is one of the most essential doctrines in the Bible. The story of Jesus is incomplete without it. He came, He died, He rose, He ascended, and He will return.

Instead of swords and shields, He was surrounded by ordinary people laying their cloaks and palm branches before Him. Instead of military victory, He came to offer grace, and truth, hope and healing, He offered salvation.
