Paul writes this letter to the churches of Galatia. This was an area in modern-day Turkey, known as Asia Minor. Paul planted these churches as he did throughout his journeys. Notice that he writes ‘to the churches’ – plural – of Galatia. He expected them to have this letter read at all the churches there.
He writes because he is concerned about them. People have come from Jerusalem teaching that if they wanted to be authentic followers of Christ they had to take on aspects of Judaism. True followers of Christ should get circumcised, they said, they needed to keep all Jewish holy days, and all Jewish laws, etc. “After all,” they would say, “Jesus was a Jew, therefore, His followers should also become Jewish.”
Verse 6 – “I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ for a different gospel. Some are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.”
How does this apply to us today? After all, our church isn’t bothered by anyone from Jerusalem trying to tell people that they have to get circumcised if they want to be saved. We wouldn’t tolerate that for one moment. So how does this apply?
Here’s how; he confronts this false teaching by giving one of the best descriptions of the gospel found in the Bible. Not only that, but by answering these false teachers, Paul gives practical answers to some very modern dilemmas.
How does a sinner become justified before God? How do we live before God in a world which is very much opposed to God? It’s interesting, a recent survey showed that 93% of Americans believe in God. Why is it then that the notion of living in a godly way is so mocked and ridiculed today?
How does a person live by their faith? If you believe in God and have faith to take hold of His promises, what bearing does that have on how you live every day?
One of the great themes that comes out of these verses is how to live by faith. No man is justified before God by the works of the Law, Paul wrote, rather, we are justified by faith in Christ. In other words, no man is able to pull himself up by his own righteous bootstraps. We are justified before God by receiving righteousness as a gift and we receive that by faith.
We were just discussing on Wednesday why the works of the Law cannot make a person justified. If you sin on a point of the Law, what do you do to erase it? If you lie can you tell more truth? If you steal, does not stealing make up for it?
This has everything to do with our relationship to God and how to live out that relationship every day by faith.
