The Final Word is Grace
Commentators note that Paul concludes his intense letter not with law or commands, but with a benediction of grace. After fiercely combating legalism, his final wish is for the Galatians to experience the unmerited favor of Jesus. This reinforces the central theme of the entire epistle: salvation is by grace alone.
