1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.
2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—
6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?
7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.
8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.”
9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
It is Better to Choose FAITH over FOOLISHNESS (Galatians 3:1-9)

Assent rather than Achievement
It is EASY to be COACHED, CONVINCED, or even COERCED into believing that Your works are more important than CHRIST’s WORK (Galatians 3:1-3)

Hearing with Faith (v. 2 & v. 5; cf. Romans 10:17):
17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Turning back to the flesh (Law, Works) is FAILURE (v. 3 & v. 6 cf 4:9)
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?
GOD JUSTIFIES BY FAITH ALONE (Galatians 3:7-9)
GOD JUSTIFIES BY FAITH ALONE (Galatians 3:7-9)
10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”
11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”
12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

CURSED for our REDEMPTION
If you DEPEND on YOUR DEEDS to DELIGHT the DEITY you are DOOMED (Galatians 3:10 & 3:12; cf. Romans 4:15 & Deuteronomy 27:26; Jeremiah 11:3; Ezekiel 18:4)

15 For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression.
26 “ ‘Cursed be anyone who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
