Was a miracle you witnessed done through keeping the Law or through the Spirit activated by faith?

Les explains that the question is whether the Spirit who works miracles among believers does so by the works of the Law or by the hearing of faith. Under the working of the Law, miracles were impossible. But when the Holy Spirit activated the hearts and minds of the pagan Galatians and others throughout the Roman Empire, the result was a miraculous transformation from paganism—with its excesses, idolatry, and immorality—into a whole new lifestyle. Les calls that a miracle in itself. He notes that the early church likely had other manifestations of the miraculous, though Paul does not explicitly delineate them. The same question remains: if a miracle was witnessed, it was not through keeping the Law but through the manifestation of the Spirit activated by faith. Les stresses 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 theme of Galatians: do not be drawn into a works religion; salvation is by grace through faith, plus nothing.
