Galatians 2

“I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” (21). Paul was concerned that “false believers” (4) were causing people to doubt God’s grace. They wondered if Christ was enough to make them holy, or if they needed to keep the Law, be circumcised, and stay apart from Gentiles. Paul fought to preserve the gospel (5) - faith in Christ alone, not culture, background, Law, or efforts (15-16).

“I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (20). Christ’s sacrificial love is more than enough to save us and make us holy, as we cling to our faith in Him.
