Galatians is Paul’s urgent response to pressure on Gentile believers to accept circumcision and obligations of the law. He defends his gospel and argues that belonging to Christ and receiving the promise rest on faith rather than works of the law. Freedom leads into service: believers are called to walk by the Spirit, love their neighbors, and carry one another’s burdens.
