We were created to glorify God and enjoy Him forever in a love-covenant of eternal praise. But, those in hell reject God in hate and fill their mouths with His curses rather than praises.    Evil is mysterious.

Paul’s words to the Galatians are a call to action for believers today. The gospel is a treasure worth defending. False teachers continue to distort the truth, just as they did in Paul’s time.
