Nowhere is the claim to desire freedom so thoroughly denied by peopleâs actions than in the sphere of religion. All religions, while claiming to set people free, instead multiply rules and restrictions. For this reason, almost all sermons on the believerâs freedom spend more time hedging that freedom with warnings against sin than actually setting people free. But the Lord said, âIf the Son shall make you free, you are free indeed.â In the book of Galatians, Paul made a clear and powerful argument for the freedom of the believer. In this commentary, the author breaks the chains of bondage that many have put on this book: he sets the Book of Freedom free! With unassailable argument, he sets forth the radical freedom that is the possession of every believer, shows why believers can be trusted with that freedom, and unfolds that it is only in the context of this freedom that they can truly express the fruit of the Spiritâshowing Christ and His Cross is the reason. Read it, believe it, and be free.
