Galatians 1:1-5 // The letter Paul writes to the churches in Galatia is filled with deep theological truths and has been historically significant for the church. However, this letter is also filled with some harsh words from Paul as he goes to battle with false teachers that are distorting the gospel. Why does Paul so passionately write to the Galatians? Because he loves them and cares for them deeply. So, he cannot sit still and watch his friends go astray from the truth of the gospel lest they lose the opportunity to live freely as heirs of the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
