It brings joy to witness someone beginning a new relationship with God by receiving His grace through faith. Remember the moment you understood the gospel—that Jesus died for your sins and rose again, offering salvation as a free gift of grace. The freedom of knowing our sins are forgiven is unparalleled. The Apostle Paul emphasised this truth to the Galatians, stating in Galatians 5:1, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” Through faith in Jesus, we are freed from sin.

Once we receive grace, the question arises: How do we live now? Some Galatians thought they needed to revert to the Old Testament law to please God, while others might have felt that being saved by grace meant they could do anything. Paul addresses this concern, affirming that we shouldn’t live under the law or according to our flesh, as the gospel transforms our lives.
