Equip Bible Study - Galatians - Standing against false teaching

Galatians is a letter written by the apostle Paul to “the churches in Galatia”. The Galatian people were Gauls (also known as Celts) who had emigrated from Western Europe to Asia Minor (modern day Turkey) in the 3rd century BC. Galatia is mentioned twice in Acts as “Galatia and Phyrgia”.

It is clear from the letter that these were churches that Paul had established. Paul has evidently heard some disturbing reports that the Galatian churches were being misled by false teaching. This false teaching threatened the gospel, because it suggested that salvation was not through faith in Christ alone but required keeping the Jewish law. Paul responds by clearly outlining the gospel: that salvation is by faith in Christ alone.
