Summary

Main message: Christians easily fall back into old habits of self-reliance instead of trusting the grace God gives in Jesus; Paul expresses this frustration in Galatians as he urges believers to live by the gift of faith rather than their own efforts.

Key points:

  • "Old habits die hard" applies to spiritual life: temptations, relationships, and thought patterns persist.
  • A common relapse is depending on our own strength, goodness, or efforts.
  • The life of faith is entirely a gift from God and is sustained by his grace.
  • Paul is frustrated with this tendency in the letter to the Galatians.
  • This message is part of a series on Galatians ("Thank God I'm Free").
