Here's Grace to You, Bible teacher John MacArthur.

Open your Bible to Galatians.

It shows up right after first and second Corinthians, in case you were wondering.

Galatians, there are many of you who have been here a long time, many, many years, and we've

not done an epistle in a number of years.

So this is a wonderfully welcome time.

Somebody asked me today, have I preached Galatians before?

And the answer is, I think it was 1973 or something like that.

And I'm so thrilled to be back at this incredibly significant epistle from Paul.

The book of the book is called The End of the World.

The book of Galatians has been called the Magnacarta of Spiritual Freedom.

It has been called the Christian's Declaration of Independence.

It has been identified as the battle cry of the Reformation.

And of course, this is the year that we celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation
