Enslaved to Non-gods
Tim Keller | February 22, 1998
Overview
This is a startling passage. The context is that the Galatians, who became Christians out of pagan backgrounds, are now falling under the influence of teachers who say, “It’s not enough just to believe in Jesus Christ. You also have to obey everything in the Bible.”
Paul says something here which is astounding. He says that if they do that, they will fall back under what he calls the slavery of the non-gods.
So we ask ourselves three questions: 1) what are the non-gods? 2) how do they enslave? and 3) how can we be free?
