Trusting Only in the Cross (Gal 6:11-18)

Staying Free: A Letter to Recovering Pharisees (15)
Sermons on St. Paul's letter to the Galatians 
​Reading: Galatians 6:11-18

In these final verses of Galatians St. Paul gives us another contrast. A contrast between those who make a religious show & one who boasts only in the cross. What we could call ‘Gospel Plus Religion’ verses ‘Gospel Only Believing’. What we have in this closing section is the climax of the main point of the letter: It’s either Christ plus ________ or Christ alone. In the end it’s what we boast in that reveals what we are truly trusting in.
