Galatians, Week 2

What this episode covers

Paul's letter to the Galatians addresses a critical threat to the gospel message. False teachers called Judaizers were telling Gentile converts they needed to follow Jewish customs and laws in addition to believing in Jesus. Paul was astonished that the Galatians would abandon the simple message of grace for a complicated system of religious performance. He warns that no one has authority to change the gospel - not apostles, pastors, or even angels. The gospel remains beautifully simple: Christ alone is sufficient for salvation, transformation, and everything we need. Adding anything to Jesus changes the very nature of the gospel and leads people away from true faith.
