Paul had already taught the Galatians about salvation through faith in Christ.  But, they seemed to be reverting to leaning on the Law for their relationship with God.  This was the result of some false teachers who had come into the church spreading heresy.

 

In Galatians 4:12-20, Paul makes a plea to the Galatians to follow his example to them.  He lays out 5 things for us in this passage which are designed to encourage us in our pursuit of Christ.  We need to: 1) Strive to Be an example to other believers; 2) Seek out good spiritual role models; 3) Stand firm in your faith; 4) Steer clear of those who cause spiritual harm; and 5) Spur each other on to grow in Godliness.

 

We need to persistently and patiently encourage each other in our pursuit of Christ.
