We have a constant tendency to veer away from the freedom of the gospel. The price of real, spiritual freedom is to guard it and stand firm upon it.

Paul is launching identity markers for the Galatian church. He's calling them to put their identity in the Bible story–Abraham, Isaac, Christ–rather than in a religiosity, Pharisaic, legalistic identity. Do you identify yourself with God's grace-filled people?

The gospel is not new but it is good news. Our job is to guard the deposit and present that message to other people, not to come up with some newfangled idea.
