the epistle of Paul the apostle to the Galatians
The Galatians, having
launched their Christian experience by faith, seem content to
leave their voyage of faith and chart a new course based on works
- a course Paul finds disturbing. His letter to the
Galatians is a vigorous attack against the gospel of works and a
defense of the gospel of faith.
Paul begins by setting
forth his credentials as an apostle with a message from God:
blessing comes from God on the basis of faith, not law. The
law declares men guilty and imprisons them; faith sets men free to
enjoy liberty in Christ. But liberty is not license.
Freedom in Christ means freedom to produce the fruits of
righteousness through a Spirit-led lifestyle.
The book is call Pros
Galatas, "To the Galatians," and it is the only letter of Paul
that is specifically addressed to a number of churches ("to the
churches of Galatia," 1:2). The name Galatians was
given to this Celtic people because they originally lived in Gaul
before their migration to Asia Minor.
