Galatians

St. Paul wrote to the Galatians urging them to return to living by faith in Jesus. After all, Jesus died as a perfect man on the cross so that we wouldn't have to pay for our sins if we would accept his sacrifice. The Galatians had become traits to Christ by returning to their traditional lives of following the law of the Old Testament. St. Paul believed that there were a few Galatians who were attempting to get the rest to follow the law again just so that they could brag about winning people over to their side and look good. Although disgusted by the situation, St. Paul had faith in the Galatians to return to their faith in Jesus. One last interesting point mentioned in Galatians: Even though we, as Christians, have freedom in our lives, it is still possible for us to destroy it.
