Chance Hicks – Galatians – The Purpose of the Law

 

  • The Marvel of the Epistle – Written out of surprise and frustration (cf. Gal. 1:6-9).
  • The Misunderstandings of the Epistle – Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone [law/faith] (cf. Gal. 2:16; Heb. 5:8-9; Matt. 7:21; 2 Thess. 1:6-9; Rom. 6:17; James 2:24). Salvation cannot be lost (cf. Gal. 1:6-9; Gal. 5:4; 2 Pet. 2:20-22).
  • The Main Point of the Epistle – Justification is through the faith of Jesus Christ and not through the law of Moses (Gal. 2:16; cf. Rom. 1:16; Eph. 3:8-11; Eph. 4:4-6).
