Explained for Children
Imagine you're on a big trip with your family, and you stop at two special places called Syria and Cilicia. Paul did that too, but he was telling people about Jesus wherever he went!
Historical Background
The book of Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul around 49-58 AD to Christians in Galatia, an area now part of modern Turkey. At this time, the early Christian church was grappling with how to integrate new believers from different backgrounds.
Living It Out Today
Just like Paul traveled to new places to share his faith, you can think about ways to talk about your beliefs with people who might not know much about Christianity in your everyday life, whether at school or in the community.
