Galatians

Paul is the author of Galatians Paul had baptized the Saints in the southern region during his 1st missionary journey, and the northern Saints during his 2nd missionary journey. It is unclear as to which region these letters were to.

Galatians *False teachings were creeping into the lives of the Galatian converts. *Many rejected the teaching of the Atonement. *Many reverted to the old Mosaic Law.

Historical Background: *Letter may have been written as early as A.D. 48. *Paul writes to urge the Saints to live the higher law.

It is taught by revelation from God through prophets and apostles. *Unity of The Apostles *We are justified through faith in Jesus Christ.
