Galatians

Galatians, written by the Apostle Paul, addresses the early Christian communities in Galatia. It emphasizes the theme of freedom in Christ, arguing against the necessity of adhering to Jewish law for salvation. Paul stresses that faith in Jesus, not the law, brings righteousness.

Bearing One Another's Burdens and Reaping What We Sow
