| bible study on galatians: Galatians for Beginners Mike Mazzalongo, 2015-04-27 The Galatian letter is Paul's response to those in every age who would try to tamper with the essential message of the Gospel: That salvation is obtained by faith, not law, and that freedom in Christ moves us to live by the Spirit of God, not the spirit of this world. |
| bible study on galatians: Galatians Geoff Ziegler, 2015-07-15 The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) Reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” highlight the gospel of grace throughout each book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on each and every page of the Bible. The book of Galatians is one of the apostle Paul’s most impassioned and eloquent letters. It warns Christians of the dangers of both legalism and lawlessness, while calling them to live lives that are shaped by the gospel. In this study, pastor Geoff Ziegler walks readers through the promises, warnings, and gospel declarations found in Galatians. Both accessible and theologically robust, this study will help Christians find freedom in their identity as God’s adopted children. |

| bible study on galatians: Philippians and Galatians Stanley P. Saunders, 2001-08-01 The letters to the Philippian and Galatian congregations illustrate well the passion and intensity of the writing of the apostle Paul. Philippians is perhaps Paul's warmest letter, affirming the already close relationship between the Philippians and Paul with the language of partnership, joy, and humility. Galatians, on the other hand, reveals frustration and anger and lacks the expression of thanksgiving typically found near the beginning of Paul's letters. Although Paul presumes a relationship of trust and respect with the Philippians, the tone of Galatians suggests that he thinks he may already have lost this community to an erroneous vision of the gospel - a perspective that was not really the gospel at all. |
| bible study on galatians: Galatians John Stott, 2020-06-02 In Christ we have salvation as a gift of grace. But what is our responsibility?

| bible study on galatians: Galatians John F. MacArthur, 2015-12-29 An urgent letter to the early churches in Asia Minor, Galatians expresses Paul's concern for the spiritual welfare of the early believers. Pastor John MacArthur will take you through the book of Galatians, passage by passage, so that you can better understand Paul's presentation of the central doctrines of Christianity and how confusion was growing among his audience as false teachers began to teach that faith in Christ was not enough for salvation. In an earnest attempt to salvage the truth and integrity of the gospel, Paul penned Galatians—a book that would encourage hundreds of generations of Christians to remain steadfast in their faith. While contrasting grace and law, faith and works, Paul defends the theological and practical implications of Christianity and encourages believers—then and now—to live a holy life that bears much fruit. —ABOUT THE SERIES— The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur. Each guide provides intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture by examining its parts and incorporates: Extensive, but straight-forward commentary on the text.

| bible study on galatians: Let's Study Galatians Derek Thomas, 2004 Paul's letter to the churches of Galatia seems to burst on the reader like a sudden storm. The issues it raises still generate controversy, even after two thousand years of church history. In large measure this is because what was at stake when Paul wrote was the gospel itself. The question of whether human works were to play any part in the justification of sinners had to be answered clearly if the fledgling Christian movement was to prosper. And Paul was determined to answer it with total clarity. This explains the vigour and energy of his language, and the impact the letter has had down the centuries. Derek Thomas explains the issues dealt with in the letter and refutes the contentions of the so-called 'new perspective' on Paul. His book is an important addition to this expanding series of study guides. |

| bible study on galatians: Galatians N. T. Wright, 2021-05-25 The first major biblical commentary from the pen of N. T. Wright While full of theological import, Paul’s letter to the Galatians also captures and memorializes a significant moment in the early history of Christianity. This commentary from N. T. Wright—the inaugural volume of the CCF series—offers a theological interpretation of Galatians that never loses sight of the political concerns of its historical context. With these two elements of the letter in dialogue with each other, readers can understand both what Paul originally meant and how his writing might be faithfully used to respond to present questions. Each section of verse-by-verse commentary in this volume is followed by Wright’s reflections on what the text says about Christian formation today, making this an excellent resource for individual readers and those preparing to teach or preach on Galatians. The focus on formation is especially appropriate for this biblical letter, in which Paul wrote to his fellow early Christians, “My children—I seem to be in labor with you all over again, until the Messiah is fully formed in you!” |
| bible study on galatians: Galatians: Gospel Matters: Seven Studies for Groups Or Individuals Timothy Keller, 2013-02-12 Tim Keller takes us to the heart of a dispute of eternal significance. The Galatian church was torn between the view that their efforts saved them, and the gospel, which told them that it was Christ's work, not theirs, that mattered. The choice still confronts us today. This seven-study guide will excite Christians about the gospel, and apply it to every aspect of their lives. |

This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation.

And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity.

| bible study on galatians: Galatians: Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary Matthew S. Harmon, 2021-12 Galatians reveals how Christ changes everything. Matthew S. Harmon traces the argument of Paul's most polemic letter. In Galatians, Paul defends his authority and attacks his opponents' arguments--and in both cases, the decisive factor is the Gospel. History and Scripture must be interpreted in light of Christ's arrival. The new creation has broken in, leaving nothing unaltered. Harmon plumbs Galatians' theological depth, including its view of sin and exile, apocalyptic antitheses, the Trinity, Isaiah's servant figure, the law, righteousness, and faith(fulness). The Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary series locates each biblical book within redemptive history and illuminates its unique theological contributions. All EBTC volumes feature informed exegetical treatment of the biblical book and thorough discussion of its most important theological themes in relation to the canon--all in a style that is useful and accessible to students of Scripture. |

| bible study on galatians: Galatians Ralph F. Wilson, 2012 Galatians shines as Paul's foundational exposition of core Christianity. It's amazing how many so-called Christians don't really get it. They think that the basis of Christianity is living a good moral life and doing good works. And - so long as you don't mess up your life entirely - you'll end up in heaven. And, oh yes, Jesus died for our sins, whatever that means. Paul's Letter to the Galatians deals with this kind of shallow understanding head-on. He had won the Galatians to Christ. But now some Jewish-Christians had begun to convince these Gentile believers that they couldn't be saved unless they were circumcised and kept the Mosaic Law. The new Christians were about to go backwards - from faith in Christ to faith in law-keeping - and Paul is adamant that this is a fall from grace. As you study Galatians, you'll begin to grasp the core of the gospel that helped Martin Luther to the conviction that we are saved by faith alone. You'll also learn to walk by the Spirit and bear the fruit of the Spirit in your character. This volume explores Galatians in 9 lessons. Thought-provoking discussion questions make it a useful tool for personal enrichment, small groups, and classes. Extensive footnotes assist teachers and preachers with background research for sermon preparation. |

| bible study on galatians: The Letter to the Galatians David A. deSilva, 2018-09-18 New volume in a favorite Bible commentary series Writing a commentary on Galatians is a daunting task. Despite its relative brevity, this Pauline letter raises a number of foundational theological issues, and it has played a vital role in shaping Christian thought and practice over the centuries. In this replacement of Ronald Y. K. Fung’s 1988 New International Commentary volume, David deSilva ably rises to the challenge, providing a coherent account of Galatians as a piece of strategically crafted communication that addresses both the immediate pastoral challenges facing Paul’s converts in Galatia and the underlying questions that gave rise to them. Paying careful attention to the history, philology, and theology of the letter, and interacting with a wealth of secondary literature on both Galatians and the rest of the Pauline corpus, deSilva’s exegetically sound commentary will serve as an essential resource for pastors and theological students. |

| bible study on galatians: Life Lessons from Galatians Max Lucado, 2018-07-10 Whose approval do you hope to win? Friends? Coworkers? Someone in your family? What about God? Do you sometimes wonder if you need to do more to earn his approval? Religious teachers in the early church were insisting that faith was not enough, that being right with God required something more. Early Christians were almost ready to accept and follow these extra requirements. This disturbed the apostle Paul. So he reminded the believers that salvation isn't based on following a religious code. Nor is it based on what we do (or don't do) or what we know or feel. Nothing is required on our part, except to believe. In showing us the profound difference between living by law and living by grace, he reminds us that we are indeed free in Christ. As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of Galatians, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book: Salvation comes by grace, not works. We should bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We will reap in life what we have sown in life. The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God's Word. Each lesson includes: An opening reflection on the Bible book you're studying. Background information to deepen your understanding of the cultural and historical setting. An excerpt of the text (from the NIV and the NKJV). Exploration questions with plenty of room to write your own thoughts and notes. Inspirational thoughts from Max as well as a closing takeaway for further reflection. The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study. |
| bible study on galatians: Galatians Hope A Blanton, Christine B Gordon, 2021-02 Do you find yourself questioning how God feels about you after a particularly sinful day? Do you wonder if you need to do something to get back into his good graces? Listen in on Paul's conversation with the churches in Galatia as he tells them over and over how they are saved and stay saved only by Christ's work, not theirs. Through Old Testament saints, word pictures, and even shocking language, Paul will convince you that Jesus's work was enough, and will always be enough, not only to pay for your offenses against God, but by the Holy Spirit to make you a new creature. Galatians is a combination of Christine's ability to unpack Scripture in deep, practical ways and Hope's ability to create questions that guide the reader and apply God's Word. Designed to be an approachable Bible study for women in every season. Galatians is an ancient text for today's weary women. This study is an antidote to our age of self-help. God's Word, alongside Hope and Christine's commentary, bids us over and over to trust in Christ's finished work. What a relief; what good news. This is nourishment for the soul. -Jen Oshman, author of Enough About Me The desire to add to the grace of Christ, to justify ourselves before God, sneaks into our lives more than we'd like to admit. Speaking to our dangerous temptation, Hope and Christine skillfully lead us through Galatians to remind us of the sufficiency of Christ's work and urge us to cling to faith in him. -Taylor Turkington, director of BibleEquipping, Bible teacher, DMin from Western Seminary Galatians is a book for the weary heart, and this study by At His Feet makes this book accessible for all students of the Bible. Hope and Christine walk through this book verse by verse in a rich and meaningful way, and help every reader see how God meets us in our failures and needs while pointing us to the hope of the gospel. -Amy Gannett, M. Div, author, Bible teacher This is an excellent tool if you are longing to dig deep into the treasures of the Word of God!

This is Beth's most stirring message yet of the sheer hope, utter deliverance, and complete and glorious freedom of God. It is a story, a song--a salvation--that you can know too. |
