b) Galatians 1:6. Apostle Paul was shocked that the Galatian Believers were turning away so soon from God to follow a different way.

Chris.
God in His Love and Mercy has called us to share the Eternal Life that He gives through Christ. We can and should have assurance of Salvation. We should know that our sins are forgiven through Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross for us. We should also have confidence about Eternal Life that is ours through Christ. Thank God for the Gospel.
