5. Paul’s Epistle To The Galatians
Lesson 6 – Galatians 5
Paul will now show the Galatians how they were to use what he’s been teaching

They were to put his doctrine into practice in everyday living (Application)
They are “justified by faith, not by works” 2:16
They had “the Spirit of His Son put into their hearts” 4:6
How do Spirit-led saints act, behave?

Circumcision doesn’t matter…all that matters is faith v cp. Rom 2:25, 28-29
Personal statements re: the Galatians and the Judaizers who were troubling them vv. 7-12
Paul still had confidence in the Galatians
What troubled them didn’t come from God
A little error corrupts a lot
The troubler will be judged by God

Circumcision doesn’t matter…all that matters is faith v cp. Rom 2:25, 28-29
Personal statements re: the Galatians and the Judaizers who were troubling them vv. 7-12
If Paul taught circumcision, why was he still being persecuted? Acts 16: Acts 15 Gal 2:3-5
Would that these troublers just castrate (mutilate) themselves!!

If this love is not practiced, the opposite conduct will occur biting & devouring each other v Rom 1:30
