Galatians 1.18–24 When Zeal met Grace
Paul was on his way to Damascus in the early stages of the news of Jesus spreading fast to kill and capture anyone who belonged to the ‘Way’ (Acts 9:1-2).

How will you put on your panoplia?
As we are one with him, we are not deliberately putting on the ‘full set armour (panoplia)’ ourselves. Because we are one with him, we are also in the state of wearing the armour HE himself wore when he saved us and gave us faith (Isa. 11:5). Continue reading

Galatians 6.1–5 Give me your bag

Galatians 5.14–26 Born of the Spirit at last
The only way out is to walk by the Spirit. He is the one who makes Sarah ‘born of Sarah’—and can even transform Hagar into ‘born of Sarah’, for that matter. He is all about love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Nothing could hinder this One from freely coming by and… Continue reading

Galatians 5.7–13 Slave again
it is Christ and his work that have freed you and continue to do so to be his, no matter what history or destiny you had. This might be a stumbling block to them, but not for us because it is the cornerstone, the foundation stone, of our faith’s hearing (that Christ transforms us completely… Continue reading
