Who were the Galatian believers Paul was writing to?

Paul wrote to the Galatian believers, who were for the most part Gentiles. They are identified as children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, which means trusting in the finished work of redemption—his death, burial, shed blood, and resurrection.

Les explains that Paul addresses the Galatian believers, noting they were for the most part Gentiles. They are called children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Les clarifies that faith in Christ refers to the whole finished work of redemption: Christ's death, burial, shed blood, and resurrection, with Paul constantly stressing the power of His resurrection. Les also contrasts being baptized into a denomination with being baptized into Christ, emphasizing that Galatians 3:27 contains no water.
