Ep 90Foolish Galatians, Foolish Humans
Paul makes clear in this letter—and as the entire Bible teaches—is a lie. There is no other gospel. Anything that adds to, takes away from, or twists the pure message of the gospel is no longer good news. God condemns it, and we must reject it.This is what Paul has been reminding them of throughout this letter, and he does it again in the passage we’re studying today. He does it with passion. He strongly rebukes the church for embracing false teaching—and today, we’ll look at the climax of that rebuke:“Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross.” — Galatians 3:1Lets jump right in!Connect with us!WebsiteFacebookInstagramThanks to Maddox Widmer for the awesome intro music for the podcast
