Watch Out for Spies! In Galatians 2:1–10, false brothers—spies pretending to be believers— try to turn Christian freedom into spiritual slavery. What’s at stake? The very heart of the Gospel.

Paul wastes no time reminding believers in the churches of Galatia exactly what the Gospel really is and what it does for those who believe it.
