"An apple a day keeps the doctor away," but not when you have cancer. There are some folk remedies that do nothing to help you. There are others that do more harm than good.

We are looking at the relationship between the Law and the Promise

Intro Paul has already explained that victory for the believer rests upon a different principle from that of the law (6:15). The law emphasizes human effort.

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.
