Gospel for Life: A Study in Galatians

Righteous always by faith alone

Galatians 3:1-14

We are always and only counted right with God by faith never by works

Review of 1:1-2:21:

• A different gospel?
• Paul defends his gospel
• Paul keeps preaching the gospel
• Then Paul goes to Jerusalem and the other apostles affirm unity in the gospel with Paul.
• Peter comes to the church in Antioch.  Paul rebukes Peter for being out of line with the gospel since we are justified by faith in Christ alone.

1.) Evidence that conversion comes by faith not law, 3:1-5

2.) Proof that being counted right with God has always been by faith, 3:6-9

3.) Why no one can be counted right with God by works, 3:10-14
