Grace In GalatiansSample
Day Two - The Gospel of Grace Defined
Read Galatians 1:1-2:21
Paul affirms his divinely given apostleship and presents the gospel (Gal. 1:1-5) because it has been distorted by false teachers among the Galatians (Gal. 1:6-10). Paul launches into his biographical argument for the true gospel of justification by faith in showing that he received his message not from men but directly from God (Gal. 1:11-24). When he submits his teaching of Christian liberty to the apostles in Jerusalem, they all acknowledge the validity and authority of his message (Gal. 2:1-10). Paul also must correct Peter on the matter of freedom from the law (Gal. 2:11-21).

About this Plan
Are you caught up in doing good deeds, but missing the gospel of faith? Are you feeling discouraged by faith based in works? Paul addresses this exact issue in Galatians and explores the foundational truth of the freedom of faith in Jesus Christ. Galatians offers a celebration of the freedom of grace and re-centers your focus on the law of love in God in three parts: the gospel of grace defined, the gospel of grace examined and the gospel of grace applied.
