A Call for Freedom- Galatians 5:1-15

This passage helps us understand more about the Galatian’s situation. People have come to persuade them to be circumcised (5:8), throwing them into confusion (5:10) and causing agitation (5:12). The Galatians used to be running well in Christianity but are confused (5:10), no longer obeying the truth (5:7), and beginning to fight with each other (5:15). They are very close to becoming alienated from Christ and falling away from grace (5:4). In this situation, what does Paul plead with them to do?

What do you think is the offense of the cross?

How are we to live in our freedom (5:1, 13-15)?

2. Fraser Family (Slovenia): Give thanks for faithful leaders in their church. Ask God to strengthen their passion and wisdom in gospel ministry.

3. Pray for those who came to GNW events and are now reading the Bible for themselves. Ask that God’s word would open their eyes to Jesus.
