Paul's Gospel Of Free Grace

Galatians 1:3-4  
"Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our
Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that 
he might deliver us from this present evil world
according to the will of God and our Father"

   Paul's gospel was a gospel of free grace. He believed with all his heart that nothing a man could do, could ever earn the love of God. All man could do is ask for God's mercy in an act of faith. But the important thing is, is not what we can do for ourselves but what God has done for us.
   Paul was accused of making religion far too easy. This accusation was the reverse of the truth. If religion consists of fulfilling rules and regulations, it would at least be theoretically possible to satisfy it's demands, but Paul is holding up the Cross and saying, "God loved you liked that.'' Religion is not a matter of satisfying the law, but meeting the obligation of love. 
   My Friend's, Paul was not preaching the Gospel to be favored among men. He preached because he believed and he loved Christ, no matter the consequences. It is when others see that we are prepared to suffer for our faith which we say we hold that they begin to believe that we really hold it. If our faith cost us nothing, men will value it at nothing.  
Amen!
