The book of Galatians is a case study in loving well and loving poorly. Paul’s letter highlights the importance of building, nurturing, and protecting a relational culture shaped by the Gospel. 

The Gospel creates a very unique relational culture—a culture that affirms our beauty, acknowledges our brokenness, and anticipates the Day we will “be made perfect in love” (1 John3:1-3). We who love poorly now will love perfectly forever. The local church is called to inhabit this tension with honesty, humility, and hope.
