The Galatians were bewitched by false teachers known as Judaizers; these people were teaching a gospel that was no gospel at all. Paul wrote to the confused believers in Galatia to help them see that what they were
being taught was a false gospel that depended on human efforts to make a person acceptable to God, which was completely contrary to the true gospel of salvation and sanctification by grace through the power
of the Holy Spirit.

Throughout Galatians, the contrast between the flesh and the Spirit—between living by human perspective and living by God’s perspective—is highlighted. Paul says it’s impossible to live by both because they are diametrically opposed to one another. The flesh and the Spirit are at war. That’s why Galatians teaches us that the only way to obtain victory over the flesh is to walk by the Spirit. God knows we need this truth because we will continue to battle with the flesh as long as we are in these imperfect
bodies. If we are to experience the liberty, freedom, and victory that the true gospel offers, we must adopt a spiritual, kingdom-based mindset so that we live in the power of the Spirit and not in the defeat of the flesh.
