When we look at this passage in Galatians, we see that Paul emphasises the gospel and how it has set the Galatians free from being ‘slaves’ to an old way of living. They need to know that they have been set free by the personal saving work of Christ. It is this freedom that reorientates and renews the way in which they think, speak and act. This passage shows us today that we too have been set free to live in a new way, once we have put our faith in Christ. This means that we have the power of the Holy Spirit in us, empowering us to bring justice into the world in a gospel centred way.
