In only a few chapters Paul brings readers examples of his most mature thought. This letter includes Paul's thesis statement on the egalitarian reality of the gospel and his concept of justification by faith. He concludes this epistle with a definition of Christian freedom and the role of Holy Spirit in daily life. Come as we make sense of the statement-" there is no Jew or Gentile, male or female, slave or free since all are one in Christ."
