Exploring Galatians: a Devotional Commentary Ashley Day

The thing that sets the Christian faith apart from all other religions is that instead of stipulating a system of obligations man must fulfill in order to please God, it offers redemption as a free gift. The question is not what we do for God but what we allow God to do for us. Paul's letter to the Galatians sets out with crystal clarity the futility of works as a means of gaining God's favor. It addresses the claims of false teachers, who were infiltrating the churches in the Roman province of Galatia, and effectively silences them. As no other New Testament letter, Galatians explains the great doctrines of Justification by Faith, Christian liberty, The Believer's inheritance, the Exchanged Life and the Power of the Spirit. Exploring Galatians is a devotional commentary, which explains, verse by verse, the treasures of Paul's letter. It is written for the layman, in simple, non-technical language, but nevertheless succeeds in capturing the letter's great truths and bringing them under the spotlight. The author's prayer is that his readers will gain a new appreciation of their inheritance in Christ and be encouraged to walk a life of faith and fulfillment.
