We open Galatians 1:6–9 and press on the urgency of guarding the only gospel. We trace creation, fall, substitution, and why adding works empties grace of its power, then close with a clear call to keep Jesus at the center.

• Paul’s warning about deserting the gospel
• What Paul actually preached and why it matters
• Sin’s weight, justice, and the need for atonement
• Substitution and double imputation explained
• Saved by grace through faith, not by works
• Fruit as the result, not the requirement
• Identifying and rejecting “Jesus plus” teachings
• Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone as the plumb line

We read Galatians 1 and confront the question of who has the right to define a believer’s identity. Paul’s defense becomes our framework for rejecting false labels and embracing a long list of scriptural truths about who we are in Christ.

• the sword of the Spirit as our core weapon
• reading and grounding in Galatians 1
• Paul’s critics and his Jesus-given authority
• only Jesus defines identity and calling
• a rapid-fire set of identity statements from Scripture
• freedom from condemnation and approval-chasing
• living as God’s workmanship with courage and discipline
• a closing charge to act from identity, not for it

We trace Paul’s story from zealot to apostle and set the scene for Galatians 1. The core warning lands hard: salvation is by grace through faith, not “Jesus plus” our works, and real freedom only comes from the finished work of Christ.

• Paul’s background as Saul and his Damascus road conversion
• Why Paul’s authority comes from Jesus, not human approval
• The planting of the Galatian churches and early growth
• The rise of the Judaizers and the false gospel of “Jesus plus”
• Grace alone versus works-based righteousness
• Signs you may be drifting into legalism
• An invitation to study Galatians for deeper freedom
