Galatians 1:3

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
All Commentaries on Galatians 1:3 Go To Galatians 1

John Chrysostom

AD 407
He calls God “Father” here not to flatter them but vehemently reproving them and reminding them how it was that they became sons. For it was not through the law but through the bath of regeneration that they were deemed worthy of this honor…. “You slaves and enemies and aliens,” [he says], “why are you so quick to call God your Father? Surely it was not the law that gave you this kinship? So why do you desert the one who was leading you to this sense of affiliation and return to your previous mentor?” Homily on Galatians
