1. You people in Galatia were told very clearly about the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. But you were very foolish. You let someone trick you.
2. Tell me this one thing: How did you receive the Holy Spirit? Did you receive the Spirit by following the law? No! You received the Spirit because you heard the Good News and believed it.
3. You began your life in Christ by the Spirit. Now do you try to continue it by your own power? That is foolish.
4. You have experienced many things. Were all those experiences wasted? I hope not!
5. Does God give you the Spirit because you follow the law? No! Does God work miracles among you because you follow the law? No! God gives you his Spirit and works miracles among you because you heard the Good News and believed it.
26-27. You were all baptized into Christ, and so you were all clothed with Christ. This shows that you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
