Union With Christ
But God…

Outline Diagnosis: Walking Dead (vv1-3) But God… (v4) made alive (v5) raised (vv6-7) It’s all a gift! (vv8-10)

Promise Keeper

Drawing a Line
| Galatians 2:11-21 |

(v21) Keeping in line with the gospel

When we have new life in Christ, all our relationships are changed by submitting to our loving Lord.
