Faith That Works

If Peter and the Galatian Christians could be foolishly "bewitched" by a false, legalistic gospel, then we can, too. In fact, most Christians default to living as if we are saved by grace and then sanctified by works. Paul dismantles this disastrous error, reminding us that the same grace that saves us also sanctifies us. It's why the Holy Spirit enters us at conversion and continues working in us throughout our whole lives. It's also why Abraham's faith was "counted" as righteousness, so that everyone who believes can be included in the family of God.
