<transcy>Free in Christ (La liberté est en Christ) </transcy>

Presentation

Rooted in the great fundamental and revolutionary theme of freedom that exists in Christ, the Epistle to the Galatians is of great importance to the modern Church and to a biblical understanding of the message of salvation. In particular, it examines the whole dimension of the new covenant which is “in Christ”.

This major epistle of the apostle Paul answers the deep questions of man: "How to find true happiness?" ; "How to know peace and be free from fear?" ; “What is the place of the law in the life and faith of the believer?”

It shows how, by faith in Christ, the believer is delivered from the condemnation of the law and from the power of sin. Through his perfect life, atoning death, and triumphant resurrection, Christ has acquired this freedom for him, and the Holy Spirit communicates it to him in regeneration, union with Christ, and adoption of the Father.

Wonderful truths! But Paul goes further. It explores the practical and lived dimensions of the work of the Spirit in the believer. If the latter is free, it is also transformed ("a new creation", says the Bible). The apostle reviews the wonderful privileges that are "in Christ", and the radically new way in which the life of God in the soul of man responds to them.

A clear but deep book, eminently biblical, capable of strengthening anyone who wants to take God at His Word. The chapters are kept short for easy reading in an often busy life.
