Galatians teaches us to live in heaven’s freedom, Ephesians lays the exciting foundation for our faith, and Philippians fills our hearts with joy. In Colossians, we uncover the revelation of Christ in us, and Paul’s Thessalonian letters extend comfort and encouragement to remain faithful. To his spiritual sons Timothy and Titus, Paul offers sage advice, stirring our hearts to serve God and love him supremely. Concluding this compilation is Paul’s letter to Philemon, in which he champions forgiving love as the key to unity.
It feels as if Paul himself is in the room, sharing his experiences and messages of life. We sense the Holy Spirit and the urgency to persevere through suffering so that upon his glorious return, Christ finds us passionate lovers of God.
At last we have freedom, for Christ has set us free! We must always cherish this truth and firmly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past.
Galatians 5:1
