If works of the law don’t save us, what’s the point of the law? Is it an enemy of faith in Christ? In Galatians 3:19-29, Paul shows that the law isn’t to be discarded but rightly understood because its purpose, its limits, and its trajectory, all point us to Christ. The law can’t save us. But it can point us to the one who can.

Is your salvation built on performance or promise? Most of us know we’re saved by grace, yet many of us still live as though God’s acceptance must be earned. Paul takes the Galatians back to Abraham to remind them that God’s promises have never depended on human effort. The law reveals our need, but only Christ can rescue us from it. Jesus, the only truly blessed and righteous One, became a curse on our behalf so that sinful people under the curse of the law could receive the blessing of God and be welcomed into His family. When we truly grasp that salvation rests on Christ’s work alone, it frees us to stop striving and simply receive what God has already promised.

In Galatians 2, Paul publicly confronts Peter because his behavior was out of step with the truth of the gospel. By separating himself from Gentile believers, Peter was reinforcing a counterfeit gospel that said acceptance with God comes through religious performance rather than faith in Christ alone. Paul reminds us that justification is by grace through faith, not by works, and that the true gospel shapes both what we believe and how we live. When fear, hypocrisy, or people-pleasing begin to direct our behavior, the gospel is at stake. And for those stuck in shame or feeling like a failure, the gospel offers freedom: you are not justified by your performance, but by faith in the One who loved you and gave Himself for you.

Paul preached the same gospel to Jews and Gentiles—grace alone, nothing added. When Titus, a Gentile, was fully accepted without adopting Jewish law, it made the message unmistakable: we are saved by grace, not by what we do. But that truth must be guarded. From the beginning, false teachers tried to add to the gospel, and the same danger remains today. We’re called to hold fast to the true gospel, discern what’s false, and not drift into performance or striving. The invitation for us is to examine where we’ve added to grace and return again to the gospel of Jesus that saves and transforms.

Paul’s story is one of radical change—once opposing God and trusting in his own righteousness, now seeing clearly through the gospel. Writing to the Galatian church, his urgency comes from a dangerous distortion: adding anything to Jesus. Whether through rebellion or trying to earn God’s approval, both paths miss Him. Before Christ, we were all far from God, even when we looked “good.” The gospel isn’t a formula to follow but a person to know. You’re not serving an equation—you’re serving Jesus. So are you telling a story about yourself, or living a testimony that points to Him?

As we begin a new series through Galatians, we’re confronted with a sobering reality: even small distortions of the gospel can lead us away from the truth. From the beginning, false teachers have added to Jesus, turning “Christ alone” into “Christ plus something else.” But the true gospel comes from God, not us—it’s about what Jesus has accomplished, not what we must earn. Legalism may look like devotion, but it leads to exhaustion and bondage, shifting our focus from Christ’s finished work to our own performance. The good news is that God’s grace comes before our effort, His approval is secured in Christ, and the gospel leads to real freedom. So we hold fast—guarding the truth with both our words and our lives—refusing to drift back into the very bondage Jesus died to set us free from.

Mark’s Gospel ends with an empty tomb and a question that still confronts us today: what will we do with the resurrection of Jesus? The women came expecting death but were met with life, reminding us how often we live as if hope is gone, unaware that everything has already changed. Jesus is not in the grave, and because He lives, hope is present. The resurrection is the foundation of our faith and the power for our lives now. Without it, we are still lost, but because of it, we are invited into new life. In His kindness, Jesus entrusts His mission to imperfect people, calling us to live with hope and to share that hope with others. God calls us not just to believe that Jesus is alive, but to go and tell others the hope we have in Him.
