Synopsis
GALATIANS. The Galatians had come to Christ by faith-powerless to win God’s favor apart from His saving mercy. But certain people were saying, “In order to keep His favor, you have to maintain His standards by your own efforts.” To safeguard the essence of the gospel, the Apostle Paul reaffirms that we can only live right with God by faith in Him, and by His empowering presence in us.
