THE "PURPOSE OF CHRIST'S DEATH"

INTRODUCTION

The New International Version Galatians

Paul’s letter to the church in Galatia is a short version of the message in Romans. Paul addresses legalism, showing how Christ brought freedom from, not bondage to the Jewish laws. Christians are saved from their sins only by faith in Christ. They are free to live by the law of love, not the Law of Moses.
