What is the main argument Paul makes in the Book of Galatians?

The main argument in Galatians is that we are not under the Law but under Grace. Paul is proving this point, and it is appropriate even for today. The contrast between Law and Grace is central to the letter's message.

Les teaches that the Book of Galatians is Paul proving that we're not under the Law, we're under Grace. He emphasizes that this is so appropriate even for today. Les then moves to Galatians chapter 4, verse 15, where Paul recalls the bond of affection between the pagan Galatians who had come under Paul's Gospel and its transforming power. They loved Paul in spite of his physical inadequacies, and Les suggests Paul had an eye problem, noting they would have given their healthy eyes to replace his sickly ones because of their love for him.

Galatians 4:15

Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
