Recommended: Analysis of paul's letter to galatians

Summary of Galatians Galatians is the ninth book of the New Testament. Galatians 1:1 identifies the author as the Apostle Paul. The book of Galatians was written somewhere between AD 51 and 57. The theme of Galatians is Salvation by faith in Christ, apart from keeping the law. Paul’s purpose in writing to the Galatians was to keep them from further backsliding. The church had been invaded by false teachers called Judaizers (they tried to bring Christians into bondage to the law of Moses). Paul wrote to magnify God’s grace in salvation and to explain the freedom of God’s people because of that grace. Paul disapproved of the false teaching of those Jewish believers who claimed that one must be circumcised and keep the Mosaic Law to be saved,

His case that the Apostle Paul did not know of an entity such as the “Gentile Church” is duly noted. However, he asserts that it is the Body of believers, both Jew and Gentile together, that provokes Israel to jealousy. This is a difficult position to fully support in scripture. Paul makes it clear that God brings salvation to the Gentiles so that the Jews will see the goodness of God poured out on the Gentiles and be provoked to jealousy.

Why? Because Paul knew that obedience to government was obedience to Christ. Man obeys the governing authorities to humble himself before God and declare Christ as his sovereign Lord and Savior. When man humbles himself before his creator, he is testifying that God knows what He is

Dunn argues that Pauls’ writings were not just about “works of the law” that practices did not provide Jews with their Jewish identity. Instead Dunn opposed this idea and argued that Paul was saying that some cultic practices were no longer

Paul influenced a large portion of the mid-eastern gentiles in his age and converted thousands to the Christian cause throughout his lifetime. Christ planned his life to unfold in such a way for him to reach out, disciple, and encourage to the best of his abilities. From his training under differing views to his own personal experience, the effects that would arise from Paul’s vastly influential ministry originate from three, specific causes. First, Paul claimed a Jewish heritage, and a Roman citizenship, and this combination affected his ministry in vital ways. As a Jew, Paul received attention that would have escaped his grasp had he originated a gentile.

The second equivalently means to follow; therefore the text is basically directing to let each person “follow” according to the lot the Lord has appointed. This verse shows that Paul is not thinking primarily of a vocation to which a man is called, but of the condition in which a man is when the concerting call of God comes to him and summons him to the life of the Christian faith. This gives presumption that God wants the converter to remain in the state at which he was converted. In addition, Barrett states that those who were called to become Christians in a state circumcision do not have to undo their circumcision, and those who were uncircumcised when called to the faith do not have to be circumcised to stay in the faith. On page ( ), Barrett writes, “Were you a slave when you were called?...

Apostle James was the leader of the Jerusalem Council and after hearing Apostle Paul ’s appeal to the council that the Gentiles should not have to adhere to the Jewish practices of the Mosaic Law (Acts 15:1), it was decided by Apostle James and other apostles and elders, with the whole church that the Gentiles who have turned to God be not troubled with words subverting their souls with circumcision and keeping the Law (Acts 15:19-24). The assembly was on one accord and even sent representatives along with a letter detailing the council’s decision, to Antioch where the letter was read to the multitude and they rejoiced over the decision. This was a shining example of the wonder working power of God, the Holy Spirit, to change hearts and order the tongues of all who spoke to bring about an accord that would instill peace among all, Jew and Gentile

Paul writes this book to deal with the issues of circumcision vs. non-circumcision and Jewish legalism towards Gentile believers. Paul gives his testimony about how he had received the authentic Gospel message. He warns against anyone presenting another Gospel message.

The crux of Paul’s teachings came to fruition largely at the council of Jerusalem. Issues had arisen concerning the role that circumcision and the Mosaic Law would have for these believers, who were still considered a sect within Judaism. Paul paved the way for Christianity by speaking boldly of the miracles that God had performed among uncircumcised Gentiles, thus displaying that there was no distinction in God’s sight between Jews and Gentiles, and the only criterion to be reborn into a new life was faith in Jesus Christ as the messiah. It was here that Christianity made its schism from Judaism to become a religion in its own right, and this rejection of exclusivity defined the central doctrines of Christianity. Paul was not fighting against

Because of his attribution to the New Testament as writing 13 books in the total of 27 books, Paul even considered himself “as little more than an ambassador or emissary for Jesus” (Powell, 231). Paul is the person who had oppressed the church. After that, on the road to Damascus, when he experienced a rendezvous with Jesus, he became a Christian missionary. Discussing particular theological issues, Paul’s epistles are written to a specific person or a specific group of people. Paul’s epistles are to Romans, two to Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, two to Thessalonians, two to Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.
