Our beliefs govern our behavior. Paul confronts Peter who has stopped

believing in the fullness of the grace of Jesus. As a result, his behavior

has become divisive and hypocritical. Paul reminds him and us of the truths

of the gospel. When we believe the correct thing about God, ourselves, and

the world, godly behavior will follow. We become people not bound by the

law, but free to live lives of faith and of the Spirit.
