Work hard and everything will work out fine. That’s the American dream. But it doesn’t work for what’s most important in life: our relationship with God. Because the main message of the Bible is that the only way to get right and stay right with God is by faith in Jesus Christ. If you’re stuck in a performance trap and you’re not enjoying Jesus, something Is off. Galatians pinpoints what — and how to escape being enslaved to performance so you can live in joy with Jesus.

We’re all born orphans, spiritually: conceived in crisis, born into bondage, and hopelessly lost in the orphanage called the world. But in Galatians, we find that if we are in Christ, we are chosen by the God of the universe to be His children — with all the privileges and joys and security of adoption. And with that adoption comes a responsibility: Will we be a witness to the adoption of others?

Are you perfectly happy? If not ... what's the one thing you think could get you there? In John 4, we find Jesus intentionally pursuing a woman who is so unsatisfied with her life, it's been her full-time job to keep seeking the one more thing that could help. But one-more-thing hasn't helped. And the answer Jesus brings her is what we need, too: a new purpose in life of knowing the Messiah and sharing Him with others.

 Are you a speed limit follower or breaker? Yeah, us too. Traffic laws regulate us to keep us safe, but we all know the speed limit signs don't magically make us better drivers. Eventually we all break those limits, and in slow zones it feels like the limit is there just to trip us up. Sometimes the law of God can feel like that too, as if all 600 laws in the entire Bible were written just for us to break them. In Galatians, Paul returns to the history of how the law was given to display the hope of why it was given: to diagnose our dysfunction and point to the promise of freedom. Salvation is not determined by our determination: the promise of the God is that we can be made right with Him through faith.

Relationship pro-tip: The way you attract someone is how you'll keep them. Same goes for your relationship with God. If you think you can do enough good to earn a relationship with Him, then you'll be in constant danger of one bad mess-up ruining everything. But in Galatians, we learn that God is the initiator, the sustainer, and the completer of our salvation. The good news? You can never lose God's love because you can't earn it, either. The way we start is the same way we'll finish: by faith.

Christians are a bunch of hypocrites. That's what everyone says ... and they're not wrong. Most likely you're a pro, just like the rest of us, acting out a lie every time we say something that doesn't match up with what we do. And in Galatians, Paul is calling out people who are living this lie — and then he lays out how to be healed. Because there is freedom from the burden of hypocrisy, and it's found in the Gospel.

Are you wearing a cheap version of faith? We tend towards a faith that is trendy, comfy & casual ... or traditional, rigid & rules. But cheap faith is a knockoff. It will never accomplish the glorious goal of the Gospel that God master planned: to unite us with Christ and with each other. Paul lays out this Gospel in Galatians and reminds us that it's not about us, but it's for us, and when we experience it, our lives are changed forever.

Ever had allergies so bad your eyes crusted over? It's painful and gross, plus, obviously, you just can't see well. In Galatians, we find Paul writing to a group of churches to point out something also obvious: They can't see the Gospel clearly because there's gunk they've been adding to it, making it crusty and ruined. But Paul experienced the radical power of the clear Gospel; it changed him from a church persecutor to a church planter, and in this spicy first-century letter, he calls all followers of Jesus to get rid of the gunk and experience that same power.

A spiritual high, followed by stress, is a recipe for depression. Ever been there? Elijah, a prophet in ancient Israel, experienced God moving in an out-of-this-world way, but then fell into isolation and doubt. He desperately needed to hear God’s voice. And like Elijah, if we want to be used by God, grow in faith, and find hope, we need to hear God's voice, know His word, and know the Shepherd.

What are your labels? The words that define you? You’ll wear the labels of the voices you listen to — but there’s only One who has the right to label you. It’s not who you are (or who you hope to be) that matters, but Whose you are. If you’re a child of God, you can claim the label God gives you of freedom (John 8:36) instead of being stuck to what others have slapped on you.
