Galatians 6:1-16

This week, we conclude part one of our series “Dear Children of God” series by asking what it means to be a new creation. I have long maintained that to fully grasp Paul’s writing, you have to think in plurals. We tend to think in singulars: What can I do? How can I grow in discipleship? The new creation Paul describes is a relationship, a community. We are a new creation. My faith is wrapped up in your faith, my growth in your growth. Paul asks us in the sixth chapter of Galatians to measure our faith by our impact on the wider community and the folks around us.
