Have you ever heard the phrase “free in Christ” and wondered what that truly means? Many of us wrestle with the idea that we are free. Free from the past, free from trying to earn God’s approval and free from trying to make ourselves better through our own strength and abilities. Thousands of years ago, a small group of Jesus followers in Galatia struggled with same ideas. The apostle Paul had some strong and significant words for the Galatians about the power of the Gospel – God’s Good News that Jesus’ life, death and resurrection makes us new; now and forever – and the importance of God’s grace. His words for them ring true for us today.
