Galatians/An Introduction

August 22, 2021

Pastor Rick Hum

This week we begin our next series. We have been in Genesis, and starting this Sunday, we will be in the New Testament studying the Epistle to the Galatians. It is a very significant letter, written by the Apostle Paul and is believed to be his 1st letter. One of the key teachings of the letter is salvation by grace through faith, an essential of NT theology. In fact It played such a key role in the reformation that it was called “the corner stone of the Protestant reformation.” Because of its key teachings it is called the “magna Carta of Christian liberty,” proclaiming to modern generations that salvation from the penalty and power of sin comes not by works but by grace through faith in God’s provision.
