AN OFFER OF LIFE // WEEK 1

Over the years the people of God, like the generation that came out of Egypt, have struggled with staying on the balance beam of a simple obedient faith in the person of Jesus Christ. We seem to either fall off on the side of license, and proceed to do whatever we want or to a legalism that tries to impose human regulations in the hope of changing us from the outside in. In both cases the end result is further bondage and brokenness and in many cases a falling away from the faith. Neither option produces life. This is why Paul wrote his book of freedom to the church in Galatia. He was zealous that the finished work of Christ on the cross would set them free like no other. He longed to see their lives shaped by an eternal, trustworthy Gospel.
