After four chapters of telling us what Christ has done for us and urging us to have faith in him alone in order to be right before God, Paul turned in Galatians 5:1-15 to explain the main thing that faith produces in our lives, which is love. While we are saved by faith alone, faith is itself never alone in the lives of believers but always accompanied by love.
Daniel’s three friends preferred to die rather than renounce their faith, knowing that God would be with them no matter what.
In two more cities, Paul and Barnabas preached the gospel boldly, which resulted in many new believers and violent opposition.
In order to be strong in the Lord’s strength, Christians need to put on the whole armor of God.
