Did the miracles among the Galatians come by the works of the Law or by the hearing of faith?

Les explains that the question is whether the one who ministers the Spirit and works miracles among the Galatians does it by the works of the Law or by the hearing of faith. The answer is by the hearing of faith, not Law. Under the working of the Law, they could not perform any miracles; it was impossible. But when the Holy Spirit activated the hearts and minds of those pagan Galatians and others throughout the Roman Empire, the result was a miraculous transformation from paganism with all its excesses, idolatry, and immorality. They stepped out into a whole new lifestyle, which is a miracle enough in itself. Les notes that in the early church there were no doubt other manifestations of the miraculous, though Paul does not explicitly delineate them. The question remains: if a miracle was witnessed, was it through keeping the Law or through the manifestation of the Spirit activated by faith? The answer is faith, plus nothing. Les emphasizes that we are not under Law but under grace, and we come under grace and out from under the Law by faith, plus nothing. This is the whole theme of Galatians: do not be suckered into a works religion; maintain salvation by grace through faith, plus nothing.
