GALATIANS 2; SEVEN MARKS OF PAUL'S GOSPEL

The second reading from the book "Free in Christ'' introduces us to seven characteristics of Paul's Gospel; it is a message of grace, peace, salvation, deliverance, Christ centredness, God's purpose and God's glory. Paul's transformative use of common greetings to depict profound theological truths, emphasizes that salvation is an unearned gift from God and that the glory of God is both the source and goal of our salvation. This episode challenges some modern interpretations of the Gospel and reminds us of the centrality of Christ in redemptiion.
