The Church in Galatia was in a theological bind. They were arguing about what was expected of those who were a part of the Church. Rules. Beliefs. Expectations. All of these things have the power to bind us, to imprison us and shackle us as slaves in the world of poor religion. It’s nothing new, we do the same thing today. What God wants is freedom for all people.
Into this context, Paul writes and says, “The only thing that matters is faith expressing itself through love.” That’s it. It is that simple. Our faith is to worked out in our lives and through our lives into the world by love. What if this framed our theology? Our beliefs? Our thinking? Our religion? Our church? Phrased another way, if our faith when worked out is not love, it is dead wrong. It’s possible, this really is the only thing that matters.
