Galatians: The Gospel of Freedom
A Review of Chapters 1-3
- Paul & The Galatian Church
- The Central Dispute: Justification
- Justification and Life Today
Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read Galatians 2:11-21. What was Peter guilty of? How does this apply to Paul's purpose for writing this letter?
- What does verse 16 mean? What is justification? What are the "works of the law"?
- Consider this quote from Martin Luther: "The article of justification must be sounded in our ears incessantly because the frailty of our flesh will not permit us to take hold of it perfectly and to believe it with all our heart." What is the frailty of our flesh? Why must we hear this particular doctrine "incessantly"?
- Consider verse 20. What does this look like, practically, in our lives?
Memory verse of the week: Galatians 2:16
Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. (ESV)
