Who was the book of Galatians written to?

The book of Galatians was written to the Gentile churches located in Asia Minor. Paul wrote this letter to them to affirm that they were not under the Law but under grace, countering Judaizers who insisted Gentiles must embrace Judaism and keep the Law to be saved.

Les explains that Galatians is a little letter written to the Gentile churches up in Asia Minor. Its purpose was to tell them they are not under the Law but under grace. The Judaizers were following Paul everywhere, refusing to give up, insisting Gentiles could not be saved unless they embraced Judaism and kept the Law. So Paul hurriedly wrote to the Galatians to admonish them not to give in, because they were under grace, not Law.
