Paul uses the legacy of Abraham, the father of the Israelites, to make a point against Legalism (the Judaizers were trying to enforce on the Christians in Galatia). Jumping between the Old Testament and the New Testament, we are able to connect the comparisons. Paul is trying to justify that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone.
The Book of Galatians is one of the Apostle Paul’s most impassioned and eloquent letters. It warns Christians about the dangers of both legalism and lawlessness, calling Believers to live in the freedom of a gospel-shaped life. Throughout this book we will encounter the promises, warnings, and gospel declarations that will help us find true liberty in our identity as God’s adopted children. Join us at The Rock Church for a ten-part series at all of our locations. We'll discover the freedom found in the statement, "salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone”.
