Book Overview

OVER 2 MILLION SOLD IN THE LIFE LESSONS SERIES

Whose approval do you hope to win? Friends? Coworkers? Someone in your family? What about God? Do you sometimes wonder if you need to do more to earn his approval?

Religious teachers in the early church were insisting that faith was not enough, that being right with God required something more. Early Christians were almost ready to accept and follow these extra requirements. This disturbed the apostle Paul. So he reminded the believers that salvation isn't based on following a religious code. Nor is it based on what we do (or don't do) or what we know or feel. Nothing is required on our part, except to believe. In showing us the profound difference between living by law and living by grace, he reminds us that we are indeed free in Christ.

As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of Galatians, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:

Salvation comes by grace, not works.We should bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives.We will reap in life what we have sown in life.

Christ, and Christ alone

A good study. Intended more for personal use. There are many inspirational excerpts from Lucado's other books inserted into the study. Most of it is questions, with large spaces underneath to write in your answer. I had bought it to lead a group, and while it has helped organize my thoughts for the study, I haven't been able to use many of the questions, as they are quite personal and reflectional in nature.

Galatians ( Life Lessons)

I enjoy Bible studies, and this one is great for personal use or small groups.
