Paul attacked the doctrine of salvation by works tenaciously. Legalism can never provide justification or sanctification. The principles of grace must always govern salvation and service. In our day, the book of Galatians is extremely relevant. Just as Martin Luther discovered its truth, so it must be rediscovered by the evangelical world. Legalism has again crept into the messages of the churches, and therefore the churches must be alerted once more.
“When a person adds works to faith as a prerequisite to salvation or as a basis for the retention of salvation, he takes away from the glory of God.” (Page 27)
“the content of his faith was the helplessness of self and the ability of God to perform what He promised” (Page 84)
“Paul engaged in two extremely important meetings: one with the apostles in Jerusalem (2:1–10)” (Page 48)
“Second, he did not receive his message from any human source (‘of man’).” (Page 36)
“Since the baptism in the Holy Spirit is necessary for entrance into the body of Christ, the church did not begin until after the ascension of Christ and the descent of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost (1 Cor. 12:13 cf. John 15:26; Acts 2:1–4).” (Page 38)
