Today from Chuck Swindall, you could not be nearer to God than you are when you believe the moment you believe and you are never

not near to him from then on.

Positionally you are actually in Christ.

In Christ.

In the righteous one.

That's grace. In a recent program, Chuck Swindall made this helpful observation, he said, of all the struggles we wrestle with, none is more relentless

than sin, just plain old sin. It dogs our steps. It plays no favorites. It refuses to go away.

Like a coiled rattler that strikes and bites,

Sin leaves us in the venom of guilt and shame.

Today on Insight for Living,

Chuck is teaching from Paul's letter of liberation.

Galatians was written to help us understand the pitfalls of our sin and the amazing grace that restores us.

We'll begin by reading the passage together.

Please turn in your Bibles to the small letter Paul wrote to the Galatians. Galatians 1 6.

I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ

for a different gospel which is really not another, only there are some who are disturbing you

and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to

you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be a cursed.

As we have said before, so I say again now if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you

received he is to be accursed.

For am I now seeking the favor of men or of God?

Or am I striving to please men?
