Galatians: The Guilt of Legalism vs. The Gospel of Liberty
Galatians 3:1-14

In Galatians 3, Paul picks back up where he left off at the beginning of chapter 1. He wants to know why the Galatian believers have turned away from the gospel. He uses their personal spiritual experiences as well as evidence from the Old Testament to prove that justification doesn’t come from works of the law but by faith alone, in Christ alone.

Galatians: The Guilt of Legalism vs. The Gospel of Liberty

Series Description

Not long after the Apostle Paul had planted churches in the Roman province of Galatia, he heard that the Christians there had begun to drift away from the gospel. In his letter to the Galatian churches, Paul confronts the distorted gospel that they were starting to embrace, and rebukes those who were responsible for leading the church away from the gospel upon which those churches were founded. By studying Galatians we discover that the only alternative to the gospel of liberty is a “gospel” of legalism, which still tempts Christians today.
