  4. Sacred Sunday~Galatians Chapter 6/612 Jewish Laws Vs. Freedom Through Christ
Galatians Chapter 6-Slaves No More What's the gist of all this?
Don't be slaves to the law. You've been given your freedom, so take
it and run with it, Galatians! Paul tells them if they go ahead and
get circumcised, things are not gonna work out well. Besides the
fact that it's gonna hurt a ton, if they get snipped, they'll be
forced to obey all the other 612 Jewish laws on the books. Good
luck with that, guys. Also, they'll be cutting themselves off from
God's grace since they'll be trying to find a relationship with God
through the law. That path is a dead end. Literally. But if they
want to follow Christ, they should just do that. No law-abiding
required. The only thing that matters is having faith. Come on,
Galatians! You guys were doing good until someone pushed you off
the straight and narrow. God will see to that. Paul is pretty angry
by this point and says that he wishes "those who unsettle you would
castrate themselves!" Watch the potty mouth, Paul.  Paul hopes
that the Galatians will stay on the path to freedom, but this
doesn't mean they can do anything they want. In fact, true freedom
comes in following God's will. If they truly love God, they'll
devote their lives to loving each other. Hugs all around. Paul
reminds them to keep their focus on spiritual things instead of
material things. In other words, no Rolexes. This also means no
"fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery,
enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions,
envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these."  On the
other hand, a person who lives in the Spirit will be loving,
joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, generous, faithful, gentle, and in
control of themselves.  If a person truly lives in Christ,
they'll follow the Spirit's lead and do all these good things.
