Federal Way Church of the Nazarene

In response to attacks from false teachers, Paul wrote to defend his apostleship and the authority of the gospel. The Galatians were beginning to turn from faith to legalism. The struggle between the gospel and legalism is still a relevant issue today. Many today would have us return to trying to earn God's favor through following rituals or obeying a set of rules. As Christians, we are not boxed in but are set free. To preserve our freedom, we must stay close to Christ and resist any who promote subtle ways for us to ear our salvation.
