About this ebook
Are you living in freedom, or do you feel imprisoned? Even Christians sometimes find themselves bound by religious obligations. Writing to the church he had founded in Galatia, the apostle Paul passionately rails against rules and regulations threatening to restrict the Spirit-led freedom God offers.
The same religious sentiments threaten us today. Whether it’s pressure to be perfect or guilt over failing, showy spirituality can hem in the Spirit’s horizons in our lives. Rediscover the freedom of God’s extravagant grace and a faith animated by God’s mercy.

Paul and Galatia
Map of Paul’s Missionary Journey
Map showing the cities around the Mediterranean Paul visited. Moving counter-clockwise from the southeast near Arabia up through Syria and Cilicia, they are Jerusalem, Damascus, Syrian Antioch, Tarsus, Derbe, Iconium, Lystra, and Pisidian Antioch.The early church
Just before the risen Christ returned to heaven, He instructed His disciples, But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth
(Acts 1:8). The early believers boldly proclaimed Jesus Christ as eternal Lord and Savior, the fulfillment of all God had promised for His chosen people Israel. Thousands in Jerusalem responded to their proclamation (see Acts 2:41).
Major Events of Paul’s Life and Ministry
When persecution by the Jewish authorities scattered them from Jerusalem, their good news,
the gospel, scattered with them. Still, they only spoke to those who had already embraced the Jewish faith. Non-Jewish people—the Gentiles—were avoided as impure until God Himself showed that they too were now part of His chosen people (see Acts 10:28,34-35; 11:19). Churches with Jews and Gentiles meeting together soon appeared throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. Within forty years, Gentile urban centers had replaced Israel as the focal point of the
