Five Things I Learned from the Book of GALATIANS


 


Galatians felt like a spiritual gut-check. Paul was not sugarcoating anything—he came with fire and correction, but it was rooted in love. What stood out most was his bold defense of freedom in Christ. I needed that reminder. Sometimes, I slip back into trying to “perform” for God or live up to other people’s standards. Paul said, “No ma’am.” Christ already set me free—why pick those chains back up? I also loved how he put grace and legalism in a headlock and made it plain: salvation is not earned. It is given. The Holy Spirit was central too—guiding us, changing us, bearing fruit in our lives. That part humbled me. The fruit shows what is really growing in me. Am I truly being led by the Spirit, or am I just managing behavior? Galatians helped me recalibrate and hold tight to the truth of the Gospel, no matter who is trying to remix it.
