“To the churches of Galatia: This wasn’t written to a single church in a single city. For example, 1 Thessalonians is addressed to the church of the Thessalonians (1 Thessalonians 1:1). But this was addressed to the churches of Galatia, because Galatia was a region, not a city and there were several churches among the cities of Galatia.” (Galatians 1:1–2)
“Paul said that the most important link to Abraham was not the link of genetics and not the link of works, but it is the link of faith.” (Galatians 3:7)
“i. Galatians has been called the ‘Declaration of Independence of Christian liberty.’” (Galatians 1:1–2)
“Stand fast means that it takes effort to stay in this place of liberty. Someone who is legally made free in Jesus can still live in bondage; they can be deceived into placing themselves back into slavery.” (Galatians 5:1)
