Overview

Galatians has often been called "The Magna Carta of Christian Liberty." It was said to be Martin Luther's favorite book in the Scriptures, and so has been identified as the foundation of the Protestant Reformation. The importance of this epistle grows from the fact that it deals with the most basic Christian doctrine: the means of justification. It is important that all Christians master the truths taught in this epistle.

They insisted that one had to become a Jew and to observe all that the Jews had always observed in order to be saved.” (Page 6)

“Simply defined, ‘walking in the Spirit’ means allowing the Holy Spirit to dominate in our everyday way of life.” (Page 88)
