Last week, we began a passage that was Paul’s passionate plea to the Galatians to identify and silence hindering voices that were keeping them from running in grace.
One of the Apostle Paul's favorite teaching analogies was the foot race. In this passage, he used it to illustrate how the Galatians were in danger of getting off the course God had assigned them. He told them, "You were running well" (7). However, someone came along and disrupted their progress by telling them they had to add Jewish laws to their faith in Christ if they wanted to be truly accepted by God.
In his ethical defense of the gospel in this passage written for the Galatians, Paul gives them, and us, several ways to protect and enjoy our freedom in Christ: by standing on Christ, remaining in grace, and waiting in righteousness.
