Top Highlights

“The translators of both the King James Version and the New American Standard Bible have chosen simply to transliterate rather than translate the term allēgoreō (allegorically, v. 24). This has led to difficulty in handling the passage, because usually an allegory is either a fanciful or fictional story carrying a hidden meaning or a true story in which the apparent meaning is meaningless.” (Page 122)

“The true Christian life is not so much a believer’s living for Christ as Christ’s living through the believer.” (Page 60)

“Christ does not give freedom to believers so they can do what they want but so they can, for the first time, do what God wants, because of love for Him.” (Page 146)

“The message of Galatians is the message of the Christian’s spiritual freedom, his deliverance by Christ from the bondage of sin and religious legalism.” (Pages ix–x)

“It should be noted that the flesh is the term Paul often uses to describe what remains of the ‘old man’ after a person is saved. It refers to unredeemed humanness, the part of a believer that awaits future redemption at the time of his glorification (Rom. 8:23). Until then he has a redeemed self (cf. Gal. 2:20) living in an unredeemed humanness, and that creates great conflict.” (Pages 154–155)
