Grace to You and Peace from God Our Father (Galatians 1:1-5)

We meet Sunday mornings at New Traditions Elementary School! You can find more information about our Sunday gatherings on this page.

Summary

The letter to the Galatians revolves around intense cultural debate that is nuanced and multifaceted. The Galatians have veered from the true gospel and Paul writes to redirect them. The amount of context that Paul shares is unique to this letter and provides us with a lot more clarity as to what was happening. Listen as Dave unpacks Paul’s opening to the Galatians.

Galatians 1:1-5

1 Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— 2 and all the brothers1 who are with me,

To the churches of Galatia:

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (ESV)
