The first chapter of Galatians is personal; it’s about Paul’s conversion experience.

When he was converted, Paul experienced four wonderful freedoms:

-       Paul experienced freedom from the bondage of sin

  • The greatest bondage in the world is sin.
  • Sinners think they’re free, but the more they sin, the more bondage they incur.
  • There are physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual types of bondage in sin.
  • Paul had to give up his personal righteousness and recognize his sins before he could be saved.
  • There is only one Gospel in the Bible—the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
  • Grace is seen throughout the book of Galatians.

-       Paul experienced freedom from the present evil age.

  • The cares of this age try to hinder the Word of God.
  • Christians don’t belong to this world.

-       Paul experienced freedom from men.

  • Paul no longer lived to please men.
  • Paul lived his life to please God.
  • Paul did not have credentials with the authorities, but God used Paul for His ministry.
  • Your ministry better come from God.
  • Paul’s ministry, message, and motive all came directly from Jesus, not from men.

-       Paul experienced freedom from his past.

  • God changed Paul’s personality by changing his character.
  • The only way to change character is through grace.

Live free by the grace of God.
