Galatians

Overview

The Galatian church was basing its doctrine on works not faith. Paul writes to the church, setting forth his credentials followed by a vigorous defence of the gospel of faith and attack on the practice of valuing works.

Paul explains how the law convicts and imprisons but God’s law is based on faith and sets us free to enjoy liberty in Christ.
