It has been a sad, stern letter that the Apostle has had to write. The first epistle to the Corinthians cost Paul much affliction and anguish of heart and many tears (2 Cor. 2:4); but this epistle to the Gal. 1 am sure cost him even more. What it cost him, none can say, but what a treasure for us today. It was surely the devil’s work to send those law teachers to Galatia, but there was a higher hand, and a heart of love that guided all; and through this attack of the enemy He forged for us a sword of the finest steel that has met the enemy’s attacks for nineteen hundred years, and is as fresh and strong as ever it was. May God Himself teach our hands to war and our fingers to fight with it (Psa. 144:1) to His own glory. Amen.
