Paul underscores how Christ's sacrifice liberates believers from the clutches of sin, offering them a new identity and life.

Overall, Galatians underscores the central role of grace, warns against diluting it with legalistic practices, and stresses the importance of standing firm in the genuine gospel.

The law points us to Christ.
