Ray Ortlund on The Book of Galatians

He writes:

The book of Galatians is in the Bible because our hearts are engines of self-justification. It’s so deep in us it feels normal. Whenever I detect that impulse at work in my feelings and relationships, my thought should be, “Well, there I go again.” That we have any faith in Christ at all is a miracle. That we have Galatianism in our hearts just makes us thankful for the book of Galatians. Now we know what to expect of ourselves, and now we know what to do about it: take our theology even more to heart and refocus on Christ alone. It’s what Christians do.
