The Chorus in the Chaos

From Gettysburg to Galatia: The Weight of Powerful Endings

Paul’s final words in Galatians are not just a farewell but an epic battle cry for defending the true gospel. He reminds us that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone—nothing we do can add to it. He warns against false teachers who distort this truth and calls believers to stand firm in the faith, no matter the cost.
