Galatians

Paul’s main concern in his letter to the Galatians is conveying the message that a person can be justified only by faith in Christ—nothing more and nothing less. Paul addresses these concerns in the letter by defending his apostleship in the face of opposition and applying the true gospel, with its emphasis on freedom in Christ and living by the Spirit, to the Galatian believers.
