Textual Segment:
Paul focuses on the heart of the matter.
The Galatians were originally saved by faith, not by law.
Therefore, grace is superior to the law.
He asks 5 questions surrounding their experiences of being justified, Spirit-filled, and blessed.
He makes them think about how they went from darkness to light and comes back to the central theme of it happened by faith, not by works of the flesh
Relational Segment:
We too have been justified by faith.
In spite of the centuries which have passed, there is no better way.
In fact, there is no other way.
That is part of what upsets Paul so much.
Paul questions the Experience of the Galatians?
Paul begins his hard hitting questioning of the Galatians.
Paul begins his hard hitting questioning of the Galatians.
Paul begins his hard hitting questioning of the Galatioans.
1st Question: Who bewitched you?
Who bewitched you?
He calls them foolish and asks who bewitched them.
They had fallen under the spell of the Judaizers.
There was no way they could have reached that conclusion logically.
Jesus’ Crucifixion wasn’t enough to the Judaizers.
they had to add works to it.
Paul had clearly preached Jesus and Him crucified.
Yet the Galatians who had heard it and believed it, were being turned by their enchantments.
Why do people want to complicate the gospel?
What example of adding to the gospel have you encountered?
We do this in several areas.
financially- Dave Ramsey often deals with matters where people get in trouble because simple principles were left for more “sophisticated” plans which led to ruin.
Health- Doctors tell us exercise and eat right.
How’s that working for us?
Spiritually-
We don’t want to miss out on what someone is offering
We are prejudiced sometimes to accept the “new thing”
2nd Question: Did you receive the Spirit by works or by faith?
(v. 2)
Galatians
Paul goes back to their salvation and subsequent baptism with the Holy Spirit.
He asks which brought the Spirit?
works of the Law
Keeping OT Law
Keeping Jewish tradition
hearing of faith
From where does faith come?
Romans 10:
They were save by faith!
They received the Spirit by faith!
3rd Question: Are you foolish?
Are you foolish?
Having started by by Spirit you turn now to the flesh.
Having started by by Spirit you turn now by flesh.
They began by the Spirit
they heeded God’s call by faith
This brought justification
Are they now being perfected by flesh
He questions their sanity!
Having been justified by faith, why would they now think works of the flesh would help them grow?
If works can’t save us, why would anyone think works can make us perfect?
4th Question: Have you suffered in vain?
Have you suffered in vain?
Don’t let what you experienced in Christ be in vain.
Perhaps they had endured great afflictions due to becoming Christians.
Paul questions why they would suffer and now turn to works of the flesh.
5th Question: Did you receive gifts by works of flesh or by faith?
The miracles, gifts, and ministry of the Spirit was gained by faith not works.
Their present experience in the Spirit was by faith not works.
“supplies” - ministereth in KJV.
Means to bestow liberally, to lavish, to supply abundantly.
The riches of God were bestowed generously by faith not works!
2. Paul Explains Justification by Faith

B. The Law Brings a Curse
