Shofar Stellenbosch | Galatians And PhilippiansSample

The key to freedom is whether we have to do the work ourselves to escape punishment, or whether our Father comes down to be with us and help us.

Verses 2, 3, and 4 each portray a way to stay under a yoke of slavery. So these verses function as warnings against slavery. Then verse 5 gives a positive description of how to stand in freedom.

Reflective questions:

1. What would you say is the yoke of slavery we should not return to?
2. What stands out for you in verses 2, 3 and 4?
3. What does it mean when we fall away from God’s grace?
4. How can we walk in full freedom?

Rejoice in the freedom Christ has given us! There is nothing we can give in return, but whom He sets free is free indeed. That’s a great truth to embrace today.
