Why do we pull towards Legalism?
In this message from Galatians 4:21–31, Paul uses the story of Abraham’s two sons to illustrate the difference between living under the law and living under God’s promise. He exposes our natural tendency to drift back into legalism—trying to earn God’s favor through performance—rather than resting in His grace. This teaching invites us to examine where we might be slipping into self-reliance and to return to the freedom that comes only through faith in Christ.
