The Message of Galatians is unavailable, but you can change that!

Among various religious authorities espousing different teachings, how do Paul’s converts know who is right? How do they get right with God, and live well in the midst of a pagan culture? Only one way, says Paul: through Jesus Christ.

Much of our Christian stupidity in grasping and applying the gospel may be due to the spells which he casts. What have the Galatians done, which leads Paul to complain of their senselessness and to ask if they have been bewitched? They have yielded to the teaching of the Judaizers. Having embraced the truth at the beginning (that sinners are justified by grace, in Christ, through faith), they have now adopted the view that circumcision and the works of the law are also necessary for justification.
