The book of Galatians is a defense
of the truth of justification by faith, which is the heart of the gospel of
grace. It presents a defense of Paul, his message, and the believer’s liberty
in grace. It deals with two main problems: (1) The so-called lack of the
authority of Paul. (2) Circumcision, representing legalism and the Law.
The structure of the book is
somewhat simple. It could be outlined as such:
