FREE — Living in the Grace of Christ
Beyond Sunday | Dwell New Life City
What does it mean to be free in Christ on an ordinary Tuesday? Paul’s letter to the Galatians brings that question into our habits, our relationships, and the ways we measure our worth. Over seven weeks, we’ll follow Paul from his urgent defense of the gospel to his practical picture of a church that walks by the Spirit.
Grace changes how we belong
The Galatians had received the gospel and experienced the Holy Spirit. Then teachers began pressing Gentile believers to take on circumcision and observance of the law. Paul saw that the question reached all the way to the cross. If our standing with God depends on what we can add to Christ’s work, then grace becomes something we have to maintain by our own effort.
Paul brings us back to what Jesus has done and what the Father gives. Through faith in Christ we are received into God’s family. The Spirit teaches us to live as people who already belong. That freedom takes visible shape when we make room for one another, restore someone gently, carry a burden together, or keep doing good when the results are slow.
