I believe the hardest thing for Christians to accept and understand is what God has done for you. The Gospel is the message about the lengths to which God will go to save you from your sin, and here in the beginning of Paul's letter to the church in Galatia, he's rooting this letter in the fact that he's an apostle through Christ, and he begins his letter with the declaration that God gave himself up for sins to deliver us, and that it was the will of God.
This is the foundation for everything we are building, for everything that we are. We so badly want to do things on our own, but the heart of the Gospel is that we both can't save ourselves and that we don't need to. Jesus loves us, and that love led him to his death, all so that you might be saved.
