Galatians 6:11–18 — Marked by the Cross

What truly marks a Christian? Paul’s closing words to the Galatians remind us that it’s not our background, our works, or our outward rituals — it’s the cross of Christ alone.
Originally preached to Ekklesia Churches by Dan on April 20, 2025 (Easter Sunday).
In this final message from Galatians, Dan highlights Paul’s personal appeal: believers must resist any gospel of outward performance and cling solely to the life-transforming work of Jesus. There is no substitute for a life marked by the cross.
Teaching Highlights:
We boast only in the cross of Christ, not in our works or religious efforts.
True transformation is an inward work of becoming a new creation.
Standing firm on the gospel may cost us comfort, but it leads to true life.
A Christian is marked not by outward symbols but by the Spirit’s work within.
The simple and powerful good news is this: by God’s grace, through faith in Jesus alone, we are saved — and it is worth every cost to follow Him.
