What does the book of Galatians constantly show?
The book of Galatians constantly shows the difference between law and grace. It confronts congregations in Galatia being undermined by Judaizers who taught that salvation required keeping the law and circumcision, not grace alone. This contrast exposes the error of adding works to faith and emphasizes salvation by grace through faith plus nothing.
Les explains that the book of Galatians constantly shows the difference between law and grace, confronting the congregations in Galatia that were being undermined by Judaizers. These false teachers insisted that salvation required keeping the law and circumcision, not grace alone. Les points out that while circumcision is not the issue today, other insidious things creep into believers' lives, causing doubt. Satan then suggests they must do this or that. The remedy is to stay in the Word, resting in the truth that salvation is by grace and faith, plus nothing.
