The Book of Galatians

The two Religion (1 & 2) posts were inspired through the reading of Galatians. The scriptures state: So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). With this in mind, below is a link to bible gateways reading of Galatians (ESV).

The letter to the churches in Galatia was written by the Apostle Paul around the year 55 AD. The main thrust of Paul in this letter is to confirm to all Christians are forgiven through the work of Jesus death and resurrection. He argues against the meaninglessness of manmade religion and how it leads to nothing but pride and death. Paul leads into a deep discussion of the work of the Holy Spirit in the heart of the believer (adapted from Fee & Stuart, 2002). This book is truly a gem and a must for those who are thinking about the core teachings of Christianity.

Please follow the links below to read Galatians:
