Gal 3:1-9 :: What Makes Spirituality Christian

From books and movies to TV shows, there is a rising interest in all things spiritual. And in the midst of this booming spiritual melting pot, the question we must ask ourselves is, “What makes spirituality Christian?” 

In Galatians 3:1-9, Paul teaches that the spiritual Christian is someone who is cross-shaped, empowered by the Holy Spirit, carried by the grace of God, marked by suffering, and is fully submitted to scripture.

Galatians 2:15-21 Who Am I?

Paul is continuing, in this passage, to teach and instruct on the centrality of being FREE, because of Jesus. In this passage, we will start to unpack some of the big theological words and phrases that are so central to christianity:

• faith in Christ
• justified
• not by law
• works
• crucified with Christ 

Gal 2:1-10 The Things that Make for Peace

In a world that is marked by divisions, conflicts, and wars, what are the things that make for peace? The followers of Jesus Christ are to be a people who, instead of finding ways to divide people, look for ways to bring people together. As followers of Jesus, we are called to orient our lives around making peace and spreading peace wherever we go. And the foundation for peace is the gospel. The message of faith alone in Christ alone is the only foundation for true peace.
