Galatians - From Bondage to Liberty

<p><strong> </strong>The <em>Epistle to the Galatians</em> is without contest one of the most important Epistles written by the Apostle Paul.</p><p>His Apostleship being under severe attack he vehemently defended it refuting his Jewish detractors with solid arguments to establish the authenticity of his calling.</p><p>More importantly however Paul was really concerned regarding a dangerous ailment that was plaguing the Gentile Church.</p><p>Indeed Judaizers - Jewish believers - had infiltrated the Galatian churches and were imposing circumcision and the Law of Moses upon the Gentile converts.</p><p>Scandalized Paul fiercely rebutted the trouble-makers and rebuked the Galatians for having allowed themselves to be bewitched.</p><p>The <em>Epistle to the Galatians</em> is Paul's advocacy in favour of spiritual liberty in Christ - as opposed to bondage under the Mosaic Law.</p><p>For that reason it has been rightly nicknamed <em>The Magna Carta of Christian Liberty.</em></p>
