From Series: Right With God, Volume 2
by Alistair Begg
At the conclusion of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians, a number of Christian essentials are affirmed. Alistair Begg calls attention to the authority of Scriptures and the centrality of the cross as non-negotiable realities in the life of every believer. God’s way of salvation is offered through grace, by faith, and cannot be supplanted by human effort, and New Testament Christianity stands on this foundation.
11See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. 12It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which2 the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
The book of Galatians provides rich material for study on the subject of Christian freedom. Warning against false teachers who attempted to pervert the one true Gospel, Paul confirmed the authority of Scripture and salvation through grace by faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross. We have been granted access to God in Christ, and are called to live according to that freedom.
In Volume 1, Alistair Begg helps us to understand the author, audience, and central message of the letter. Through Christ’s atoning sacrifice for our sins, God has fulfilled His promise to Abraham and has given us the power to live as His children. When we unite as believers on the basis of truth, rather than at the expense of it, we can intentionally teach and display the Gospel to a lost and dying world.

The book of Galatians provides rich material for study on the subject of Christian freedom. Warning against false teachers who attempted to pervert the one true Gospel, Paul confirmed the authority of Scripture and salvation through grace by faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross. We have been granted access to God in Christ, and are called to live according to that freedom.
In Volume 2, Alistair Begg teaches on the essentials of Christianity as presented by the Apostle Paul. When we recognize Christ as our only hope of salvation, we become a new creation in Him and are free to live accordingly. Transformed by the power of the Gospel, although not free from conflict and trials, our lives will reflect the work God is doing in us as individual believers and as members of the Body of Christ.
