In this last video in our series in Galatians, we talk about possible reason why the "agitators" were advocating circumcision as means of being identified as God's people. We also see the important theme of new creation in the letter. We also talk about praying that peace of Jesus be with our spirit.

This lesson is part of the series titled, "Renewing Image Bearers". The hope is to help young Christians grow in our connection with God, each other and the mission. In this lesson we talk briefly about how we got the Old Testament. We look at the timeline of the Old Testament. We also consider the number of manuscripts we have of the Old Testament and compare it with other ancient texts. This lesson is by no means intended to be an exhaustive deep dive into this complex topic. Hopefully this short lesson helps to understand how we got the Old Testament.

In this lesson we talk about the principle of "reaping and sowing". We see how this concept makes the most sense within the context of the entire letter. Jesus in and through His death and resurrection has launched new creation in the midst of the old and the new Exodus. We are called to live out the lifestyle of being redeemed (sowing in the Spirit) and not living the lifestyle as though we are enslaved in Egypt (sowing in the flesh). We also see that in order to live out new creation in midst of the old, we need to experience God's discipline as well as be intentional in training. Finally we close out by mentioning that the Christian life is a marathon and not a sprint.
