Session 1: Galatians 1:1-10 — The True Gospel
Text – Galatians 1:1-10
Greetings from Paul
1 This letter is from Paul, an apostle. I was not appointed by any group of people or any human authority, but by Jesus Christ himself and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from the dead.
2 All the brothers and sisters here join me in sending this letter to the churches of Galatia.
3 May God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. 4 Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live. 5 All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
There Is Only One Good News
6 I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News 7 but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.
8 Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you. 9 I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed.
10 Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.
Overview
The
book of Galatians opens with Paul’s passionate defense of the true
gospel. He expresses concern about the Galatians turning to a
distorted gospel and emphasizes that salvation is through Christ
alone. This section introduces the key theme of the epistle: the
gospel’s purity and the danger of adding human requirements to
God's grace. Paul’s greeting reflects both his authority as an
apostle and his deep care for the Galatian believers.

Question
Why
do you think Paul is so passionate about defending the gospel's
purity? How can false teachings subtly distort our understanding of
grace?
Discussion Questions
What does Paul’s emphasis on his authority teach us about how we should view and respond to God’s Word today? How can we discern whether a message truly comes from God or is a "different gospel"?
Paul talks about “grace and peace” in verse 3. How have you experienced God’s grace and peace in your own life? Why do you think Paul connects grace and peace with the gospel message?
In verse 10, Paul says he seeks to please God rather than people. Why is this difficult in today’s culture? How can we support each other in standing firm in our faith?
Discussion Points for Galatians 1:1–10
1. Paul’s Authority as an Apostle (v. 1)
Paul emphasizes that his apostleship is "not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father." He establishes that his calling and message come directly from God.
This was important because some people in Galatia were questioning his authority. By stating his divine commission, Paul reminds us that true spiritual authority comes from God, not human endorsement.
Charles Spurgeon once said, “The gospel is not ‘according to man,’ but ‘according to God,’ and woe to us if we attempt to amend or improve it.” This reminds us to trust the divine origin of the gospel.
2. The Gospel Message (vv. 3–5)
Paul summarizes the gospel: grace and peace from God through Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from this present evil age.
The gospel is about what God has done for us, not what we can do for God. Paul’s focus on “grace” reminds us that salvation is a gift we cannot earn.
Imagine being rescued from a dangerous situation. You wouldn’t brag about how you helped the rescuer—you’d be thankful and tell others about what they did.
3. The Danger of a Different Gospel (vv. 6–9)
Paul is astonished that the Galatians are turning to a "different gospel." He warns them against false teachings that distort the true gospel.
Paul’s strong words show how serious it is to protect the purity of the gospel. Even if an angel from heaven preaches a different message, Paul says they should be "accursed."
Martin Luther commented, “There is no middle ground between Christian righteousness and works-righteousness. There is no alternative to the Christian gospel; there is no other gospel.”
What are some modern "different gospels" we should be wary of? For example, messages that focus only on prosperity or good works rather than Christ’s sacrifice.
4. Pleasing God, Not Man (v. 10)
Paul states that his goal is not to please people but to please God. If he were trying to please people, he wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.
This reminds us that following Christ often involves standing firm against popular opinions or cultural pressures. Our ultimate loyalty is to God, not human approval.
Think about how a lighthouse stands firm, shining light regardless of storms or tides. Similarly, we must stand firm in the gospel.
Follow-up Thought
The Galatian churches were likely influenced by Judaizers, who taught that Christians must follow Jewish laws to be truly saved. This context helps us understand Paul’s urgency in defending the gospel. “Paul is astonished, not that the Galatians are embracing new teaching, but that they are deserting the one who called them in grace.” F.F. Bruce

Reflect
on the simplicity and power of the gospel: salvation by grace through
faith in Jesus Christ. Consider areas in life where you might be
tempted to add "requirements" to grace.

Session 2: Galatians 1:11-24 — Paul's Call and Gospel
Paul’s Message Comes from Christ
11 Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning. 12 I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.
13 You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion—how I violently persecuted God’s church. I did my best to destroy it. 14 I was far ahead of my fellow Jews in my zeal for the traditions of my ancestors.
15 But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him 16 to reveal his Son to me so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles.
When this happened, I did not rush out to consult with any human being. 17 Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to consult with those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away into Arabia, and later I returned to the city of Damascus.
18 Then three years later I went to Jerusalem to get to know Peter, and I stayed with him for fifteen days. 19 The only other apostle I met at that time was James, the Lord’s brother. 20 I declare before God that what I am writing to you is not a lie.
21 After that visit I went north into the provinces of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And still the churches in Christ that are in Judea didn’t know me personally. 23 All they knew was that people were saying, “The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!” 24 And they praised God because of me.
Overview:
Paul
shares his personal testimony, affirming that the gospel he preaches
is not of human origin but was received through a revelation of Jesus
Christ. He recounts his dramatic conversion and his journey to
becoming an apostle. This passage highlights God’s sovereignty in
transforming lives and using them for His purposes.
Lead-In
Question:
How
does Paul's transformation demonstrate the power of God's grace? What
does this teach us about how God can use anyone, regardless of their
past?
Discussion Points for Galatians 1:11–24
1. The Divine Origin of the Gospel (vv. 11–12)
Paul makes it clear that the gospel he preaches is not of human origin. He received it directly through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Paul’s authority comes from God, not from human teachings or traditions. This reminds us that the gospel is divinely inspired and trustworthy.
John Stott wrote, “Paul’s gospel is not a human invention; it is a divine revelation. It is the good news of salvation that comes from heaven, not from man.”
2. Paul’s Past Life in Judaism (vv. 13–14)
Paul describes his zealous persecution of the church and his deep commitment to Jewish traditions before encountering Christ.
By highlighting his past, Paul shows the power of God’s grace to transform even the most unlikely person. His radical change is evidence of the truth and power of the gospel.
Imagine a person who once opposed Christianity but became a strong believer. Their transformation is a testimony to God’s work in their life.
3. Paul’s Calling and Transformation (vv. 15–16)
Paul acknowledges that God set him apart before birth and called him by grace to preach to the Gentiles.
This highlights God’s sovereignty in choosing and preparing people for His purposes. Paul’s story reminds us that God has a plan for each of us, even before we know Him.
A.W. Tozer said, “God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.” God’s timing in Paul’s life encourages us to trust His plan for our own.
4. Paul’s Time of Preparation (vv. 17–20)
Paul did not immediately seek out the apostles in Jerusalem after his conversion. Instead, he spent time in Arabia and Damascus, being prepared by God.
This quiet time of preparation shows that spiritual growth often takes place away from the spotlight. It’s a reminder that God works in us before working through us.
How can we use seasons of waiting or quiet to grow in our faith and understanding of God?
5. Paul’s Visit to Jerusalem and Reputation (vv. 21–24)
When Paul finally met the apostles, they praised God for his transformation. His testimony spread, and people glorified God because of him.
This shows the power of a changed life to bring glory to God. Our lives can serve as a testimony to others when we live faithfully for Christ.
D.L. Moody said, “The world does not understand theology or dogma, but it understands love and sympathy.” Paul’s transformed life was proof of God’s love and power.
Discussion Questions
Paul received the gospel through revelation, not human teaching. How can we trust that the gospel we read in the Bible today is still God’s truth? How can we recognize and reject “man-made” teachings that might distort the gospel?
Paul’s life changed dramatically after encountering Christ. How has Jesus transformed your life or the life of someone you know? How can we use our own testimonies to share the gospel with others?
Paul spent time in preparation before stepping into ministry. How do we balance waiting on God’s timing with actively serving Him? What are ways we can grow spiritually during times of waiting or preparation?
Follow-up Thought
Paul’s time in Arabia (v. 17) might have been a period of solitude and reflection, similar to Moses’ time in the wilderness or Jesus’ 40 days in the desert. This underscores the importance of spiritual preparation. N.T. Wright: “Paul insists that his gospel came directly from Jesus. This was not just his defense—it was the foundation of his whole ministry.”

Thought:
God's
grace not only saves us but transforms us for His service. Let Paul's
story encourage you to trust in God's ability to redeem and use your
life for His glory.

Session 3: Galatians 2:1-10 — Unity in the Gospel
Text - Galatians 2:1-10
1 Then fourteen years later I went back to Jerusalem again, this time with Barnabas; and Titus came along, too. 2 I went there because God revealed to me that I should go. While I was there I met privately with those considered to be leaders of the church and shared with them the message I had been preaching to the Gentiles. I wanted to make sure that we were in agreement, for fear that all my efforts had been wasted and I was running the race for nothing. 3 And they supported me and did not even demand that my companion Titus be circumcised, though he was a Gentile.
4 Even that question came up only because of some so-called believers there—false ones, really—who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations. 5 But we refused to give in to them for a single moment. We wanted to preserve the truth of the gospel message for you.
6 And the leaders of the church had nothing to add to what I was preaching. (By the way, their reputation as great leaders made no difference to me, for God has no favorites.) 7 Instead, they saw that God had given me the responsibility of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as he had given Peter the responsibility of preaching to the Jews. 8 For the same God who worked through Peter as the apostle to the Jews also worked through me as the apostle to the Gentiles.
9 In fact, James, Peter, and John, who were known as pillars of the church, recognized the gift God had given me, and they accepted Barnabas and me as their co-workers. They encouraged us to keep preaching to the Gentiles, while they continued their work with the Jews. 10 Their only suggestion was that we keep on helping the poor, which I have always been eager to do.
Overview:
Paul
describes a meeting with the apostles in Jerusalem, where they affirm
his gospel message and ministry to the Gentiles. This passage
underscores the unity of believers, regardless of background, under
the gospel of grace.
Lead-In Question: - Why is unity in the gospel important for the church? How can we uphold this unity in today’s diverse world?
Discussion Points for Galatians 2:1–10
1. Paul’s Journey to Jerusalem (vv. 1–2)
Paul went to Jerusalem with Barnabas and Titus after 14 years to meet privately with church leaders and present the gospel he preached to the Gentiles.
Paul sought to ensure that his ministry to the Gentiles was in alignment with the apostles in Jerusalem. He didn’t need their approval for his message (since it came from God), but he valued unity in the church.
John Stott wrote, “Paul was not seeking human endorsement but divine truth. Yet he knew the importance of unity in the body of Christ.”
2. Titus and the Question of Circumcision (vv. 3–5)
Titus, a Gentile, was not compelled to be circumcised despite pressure from some false believers.
This event shows that salvation comes by faith in Christ alone, not by following Jewish laws. Paul stood firm to preserve the truth of the gospel.
Think of the gospel like a strong foundation. Adding unnecessary rules is like putting cracks in the foundation—it weakens the whole structure.
3. The Unity of the Apostles (vv. 6–9)
Paul emphasizes that the apostles in Jerusalem added nothing to his gospel message. Instead, they recognized God’s grace in Paul’s ministry and extended fellowship to him.
This shows that the message of salvation by grace through faith is consistent and unchanging. The apostles affirmed Paul’s calling to preach to the Gentiles while they focused on the Jews.
F.F. Bruce stated, “The recognition of Paul’s apostleship was not an act of generosity but an acknowledgment of divine grace at work in him.”
4. The Call to Remember the Poor (v. 10)
The apostles asked Paul to continue to remember the poor, which he was eager to do.
This highlights the practical outworking of the gospel. Faith in Christ leads to love and care for others, especially those in need.
How can we actively show Christ’s love by caring for the poor in our community?
Discussion Questions
Why do you think Paul was so firm about not requiring Titus to be circumcised? How does this situation show the importance of preserving the truth of the gospel? Are there any traditions or practices today that people sometimes treat as necessary for salvation? How should we respond to these?
The apostles recognized God’s work in Paul’s ministry to the Gentiles. How can we affirm and encourage others in their unique callings from God? How do we ensure that our church is united around the gospel while allowing room for different ministries and approaches?
Paul was eager to remember the poor. How can our group or church prioritize caring for those in need? What are some practical ways we can serve the poor and show Christ’s love in action?
Enhancing Understanding with Historical Insights
The “false brothers” (v. 4) were likely Judaizers—Jewish Christians who insisted Gentiles must follow Jewish laws to be saved. This conflict threatened the gospel’s core message of grace.
Insight from Martin Luther: “The chief article and foundation of the gospel is that we are justified by faith in Christ, without the works of the law. This we must believe and confess.”
By examining Paul’s unwavering commitment to the gospel and his cooperation with the apostles, the group can see how faith, unity, and care for others are central to the Christian life.

in the gospel reflects the heart of God’s plan for His church. Pray

Session 4: Galatians 2:11-21 — Justification by Faith
Text - Galatians 2:11-21
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. 12 When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile believers, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision. 13 As a result, other Jewish believers followed Peter’s hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
14 When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, “Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions?
15 “You and I are Jews by birth, not ‘sinners’ like the Gentiles. 16 Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”
17 But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not! 18 Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down. 19 For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. 20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.
Overview:
Paul
confronts Peter for acting hypocritically toward Gentile believers,
reminding him that justification comes through faith in Christ, not
by works of the law. This section reinforces the foundational
doctrine that salvation is through faith alone.
Lead-In Question - What does it mean to live as though justification comes by faith? How can we avoid the trap of legalism?
Discussion Points for Galatians 2:11–21
1. Paul Confronts Peter (vv. 11–14)
Paul publicly rebuked Peter (Cephas) for withdrawing from eating with Gentile believers when certain men from James arrived.
Peter’s actions implied that Gentiles had to follow Jewish customs to be fully accepted, contradicting the gospel of grace. Paul stood up for the truth: salvation is by faith, not by works or cultural practices.
Imagine a leader treating one group of people better than another based on appearances. It causes division and goes against the unity Christ calls us to.
John Calvin wrote, “Hypocrisy can never be overcome unless the gospel alone reigns in our hearts.” Peter’s actions show how easily we can slip into hypocrisy.
2. Justification by Faith, Not by Works (vv. 15–16)
Paul declares that no one is justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.
“Justification” means being made right with God. This doesn’t happen by following rules but by trusting in what Jesus has done.
Martin Luther famously said, “This doctrine of justification is the head and the cornerstone. It alone begets, nourishes, builds, preserves, and defends the church of God.”
3. Dying to the Law to Live for Christ (vv. 17–19)
Paul explains that through the law, he died to the law so he could live for God. His life is no longer about rule-keeping but about being transformed by Christ.
The law reveals our sin but cannot save us. In Christ, we are freed from its demands because He fulfilled the law on our behalf.
Think of a debt you couldn’t possibly pay. Christ not only pays the debt but also gives you a fresh start.
4. Living by Faith in Christ (v. 20)
Paul declares, “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”
Our old selves, bound by sin and the law, are put to death with Christ. Now, His life and power are in us. This verse is about surrendering our lives to Christ and trusting Him completely.
Watchman Nee wrote, “God is not asking us to do anything for Him; He is asking us to let Him live His life in us.”
5. The Grace of God and the Cross (v. 21)
Paul concludes by stating that if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
This powerful statement reminds us that grace is central to the gospel. If we could save ourselves, there would be no need for Jesus to die.
Are there ways we sometimes try to earn God’s favor instead of resting in His grace?
Discussion Questions
Why was Paul so concerned about Peter’s actions? How can we avoid letting fear or social pressure affect our witness? Have you ever had to confront someone—or been confronted—about something that went against the gospel? How can we do this lovingly and truthfully?
What does it mean to you personally to be “crucified with Christ” (v. 20)? How does this truth impact the way you live your daily life? How can we encourage each other to live by faith in the Son of God rather than relying on our own efforts?
Paul says we are justified by faith, not by works of the law. How can we remind ourselves of this truth when we feel the pressure to perform or follow certain rules to be accepted by God? How does God’s grace free us to love and serve others instead of focusing on ourselves?
Enhancing Understanding with Historical Insights
Peter’s behavior likely stemmed from fear of criticism from the “circumcision group.” This group believed Gentiles had to follow Jewish customs to be part of God’s people.
Insight from F.F. Bruce: “The essence of Paul’s gospel was at stake. To retreat from fellowship with Gentile believers was to deny the all-sufficiency of Christ’s work.”
Paul’s bold defense of the gospel in this passage calls us to stand firm in grace, live by faith, and uphold the unity and freedom we have in Christ. These truths are as relevant today as they were for the early church.

Session 5: Galatians 3:1-14 — Faith vs. Works
Text - Galatians 3:1-14
3 Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross. 2 Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ. 3 How foolish can you be? After starting your new lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort? 4 Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it?
5 I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.
6 In the same way, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.” 7 The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.
8 What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would make the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
10 But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.” 11 So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” 12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”
13 But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” 14 Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.
Overview:
Paul
challenges the Galatians for trying to attain spiritual maturity
through works of the law. He points to Abraham’s faith as the model
and highlights the curse of relying on the law for righteousness.
Lead-In
Question:
Why
do we sometimes feel the need to “earn” God’s favor? How does
faith set us free from this burden?
Discussion Points for Galatians 3:1–14
1. Paul’s Stern Rebuke (vv. 1–3)
Paul calls the Galatians “foolish” for turning away from the truth of the gospel and trying to rely on works of the law. He reminds them that they received the Spirit by faith, not by works.
Paul’s strong language shows his concern for their spiritual well-being. They began their Christian journey by faith, but now they are being tempted to finish it by their own efforts.
Charles Spurgeon said, “The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.”
2. Abraham’s Example of Faith (vv. 6–9)
Paul points to Abraham, who was justified by faith, not by works. “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
Abraham’s relationship with God was based on trust, not on obeying laws. This shows that faith, not rule-keeping, has always been God’s way of making people right with Him.
Imagine a father promises his child a gift. The child trusts his father’s word and receives the gift. That’s faith—it’s trusting, not earning.
3. The Curse of the Law (vv. 10–12)
Paul explains that relying on the law for salvation leads to a curse because no one can perfectly keep the law. The law reveals sin but cannot save.
The law was never meant to justify us; it shows our need for a Savior. Trying to earn salvation through the law is like trying to climb a ladder that doesn’t reach the top.
Martin Luther said, “The law works fear and wrath; grace works hope and mercy.”
4. Christ Redeems Us from the Curse (vv. 13–14)
Jesus took the curse of the law upon Himself by dying on the cross, so that we could receive the blessing of Abraham through faith.
Christ’s death breaks the curse of sin and opens the door for everyone—Jew and Gentile alike—to be justified by faith and receive the Holy Spirit.
It’s like someone paying off a debt you could never repay. Jesus took the penalty we deserved so we could be free.
Discussion Questions
Paul calls the Galatians “foolish” for turning back to works instead of living by faith. Why do you think it’s so tempting to rely on our own efforts instead of trusting in God’s grace? What are some practical ways we can remind ourselves to rely on faith and not on works?
Paul uses Abraham as an example of faith. How does his story encourage us to trust God, even when we don’t fully understand His plan? Can you share a time in your life when trusting God brought peace or blessing?
In verses 13–14, Paul says Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law. How does this truth change the way we see ourselves and others? How can we share this good news with people who are still trying to earn their way to God?
Enhancing Understanding with Historical Insights
The Judaizers were teaching the Galatians that they needed to follow Jewish laws, like circumcision, to be fully accepted by God. Paul argues that this contradicts the gospel of grace.
Insight from John Stott: “The law cannot justify sinners; it can only condemn them. The gospel, however, proclaims Christ as our Redeemer who took the curse of the law upon Himself.”
This passage reminds us that salvation has always been about faith, not works. By studying Abraham’s example, the curse of the law, and Christ’s redeeming work, we see that the gospel is the power of God’s grace, bringing freedom and blessing to all who believe.

Session 6: Galatians 3:15-29 — The Promise Fulfilled
Text - Galatians 3:15-29
15 Dear brothers and sisters, here’s an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or amend an irrevocable agreement, so it is in this case. 16 God gave the promises to Abraham and his child. And notice that the Scripture doesn’t say “to his children,” as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says “to his child”—and that, of course, means Christ. 17 This is what I am trying to say: The agreement God made with Abraham could not be canceled 430 years later when God gave the law to Moses. God would be breaking his promise. 18 For if the inheritance could be received by keeping the law, then it would not be the result of accepting God’s promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham as a promise.
19 Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people. 20 Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement. But God, who is one, did not use a mediator when he gave his promise to Abraham.
21 Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it. 22 But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.
23 Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed.
24 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. 25 And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.
26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. 28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.
Overview:
Paul
explains the relationship between the law and God’s promise to
Abraham. The law was a temporary guardian until Christ came,
fulfilling God’s promise and making believers children of God
through faith.
Lead-In Question: How does knowing we are heirs of God’s promise impact the way we view our relationship with Him?
Discussion Points for Galatians 3:15–29
1. The Promise Given to Abraham (vv. 15–18)
Paul explains that God’s promise to Abraham was a covenant that could not be changed or nullified by the law, which came 430 years later.
The promise of salvation through faith in Christ is permanent and cannot be replaced by the law. The law was never meant to override God’s promise.
Think of a legal will. Once it’s set, no one can come later and change it. God’s promise to Abraham is like that—it stands firm.
John Stott wrote, “The law cannot annul the promise; it can only make us more conscious of our need for it.”
2. The Purpose of the Law (vv. 19–24)
Paul explains that the law was added because of sin. It acted like a guardian or teacher until Christ came so that we might be justified by faith.
The law shows us our sin and points us to our need for a Savior. It’s like a mirror that reveals dirt on our face but can’t wash it off. Only Christ can cleanse us.
Imagine a tutor who teaches and guides a child until they grow up. Once the child matures, they no longer need the tutor. Similarly, the law prepared us for Christ.
Martin Luther said, “The law is a mirror to show us the filth of our sin but not the sponge to wipe it away.”
3. Faith Makes Us Children of God (vv. 25–27)
Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the law’s guardianship. Through faith in Christ, we become children of God and are clothed with Christ.
Being “clothed with Christ” means we take on His righteousness and identity. We are no longer defined by our failures but by His grace.
What does it mean to you personally to be a child of God?
4. Unity in Christ (vv. 28–29)
Paul declares that in Christ, there is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female—we are all one in Him.
This doesn’t mean our differences disappear but that they no longer divide us. Everyone who belongs to Christ is equally part of God’s family and heirs of His promise.
Billy Graham said, “The ground is level at the foot of the cross.”
Discussion Questions
Paul says the law was like a guardian until Christ came. How does this help us understand the purpose of the Old Testament law in light of the gospel? Are there ways we might mistakenly try to live under the law instead of living in the freedom of grace?
Paul says we are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus (v. 26). How does this truth impact the way we see ourselves and others in the church? How can we promote unity and love within the church, especially when we come from different backgrounds or have different opinions?
What does it mean to be an heir of God’s promise (v. 29)? How does this give you hope and purpose in your life today? How can we share this hope with those who feel excluded or unworthy of God’s love?
Enhancing Understanding with Historical Insights
The Judaizers believed that Gentile Christians had to follow the Jewish law to be fully part of God’s people. Paul argues that faith, not the law, brings us into God’s family.
Insight from N.T. Wright: “The law was a temporary measure, preparing the way for the fulfillment of God’s promises in Jesus. Faith is now the means by which we are justified and made part of God’s family.”
By reflecting on God’s unchanging promise, the purpose of the law, and the unity we have in Christ, this passage reminds us that our salvation is a gift of grace. It encourages us to live in the freedom and unity that comes from being children of God.

Session 7: Galatians 4:1-20 — Sons and Heirs
Text - Galatians 4:1-20
1 Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had. 2 They have to obey their guardians until they reach whatever age their father set. 3 And that’s the way it was with us before Christ came. We were like children; we were slaves to the basic spiritual principles of this world.
4 But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. 5 God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. 6 And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” 7 Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
8 Before you Gentiles knew God, you were slaves to so-called gods that do not even exist. 9 So now that you know God (or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world? 10 You are trying to earn favor with God by observing certain days or months or seasons or years. 11 I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing. 12 Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to live as I do in freedom from these things, for I have become like you Gentiles—free from those laws.
You did not mistreat me when I first preached to you. 13 Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News. 14 But even though my condition tempted you to reject me, you did not despise me or turn me away. No, you took me in and cared for me as though I were an angel from God or even Christ Jesus himself. 15 Where is that joyful and grateful spirit you felt then? I am sure you would have taken out your own eyes and given them to me if it had been possible. 16 Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth?
17 Those false teachers are so eager to win your favor, but their intentions are not good. They are trying to shut you off from me so that you will pay attention only to them. 18 If someone is eager to do good things for you, that’s all right; but let them do it all the time, not just when I’m with you.
19 Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I’m going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives. 20 I wish I were with you right now so I could change my tone. But at this distance I don’t know how else to help you.
Overview:
Paul
contrasts slavery under the law with the freedom of sonship through
Christ. He expresses concern for the Galatians, urging them to
embrace their identity as God’s children rather than returning to
legalism.
Lead-In Question: What does it mean to live as sons and daughters of God? How does this identity shape our daily lives?
Discussion Points for Galatians 4:1–20
1. From Slaves to Sons (vv. 1–7)
Paul uses the analogy of an heir who is a child. Though the heir owns everything, they are no different from a slave until the appointed time. In the same way, we were once slaves under the law, but through Christ, we are adopted as God’s children and heirs.
Jesus’ death and resurrection brought freedom from the bondage of the law. Now, we have the privilege of calling God “Abba, Father.”
Think of a child waiting to receive an inheritance. Until the time comes, they are treated like a servant. But when the time is right, they step into their full privileges as an heir.
J.I. Packer wrote, “Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers: higher even than justification.”
2. Paul’s Concern Over the Galatians’ Return to Bondage (vv. 8–11)
Paul expresses concern that the Galatians are turning back to “weak and miserable forces,” like observing special days and practices, instead of living in the freedom of Christ.
Before knowing God, the Galatians were enslaved to false gods. Now, they risk becoming enslaved again by trying to earn God’s favor through rituals.
Are there ways we sometimes fall into the trap of thinking we have to “earn” God’s love?
3. Paul’s Personal Appeal (vv. 12–16)
Paul recalls the love and kindness the Galatians once showed him, even when he was physically weak. He pleads with them not to see him as an enemy because of his strong words.
Paul’s concern for the Galatians is deeply personal. He’s not scolding them to hurt them but to draw them back to the truth of the gospel.
Imagine a parent who disciplines a child out of love, not anger, because they want what’s best for them.
4. False Teachers and Paul’s Labor of Love (vv. 17–20)
Paul warns about false teachers who are zealous but not for the right reasons. He compares his work among the Galatians to labor pains, longing to see Christ fully formed in them.
The false teachers wanted to win the Galatians’ loyalty for their own purposes. In contrast, Paul’s goal was their spiritual growth and maturity in Christ.
John Stott said, “False teachers are more interested in winning disciples for themselves than in winning disciples for Christ.”
Discussion Questions
Paul says we are no longer slaves but children and heirs of God (v. 7). How does this truth change the way we view our relationship with God? What does it mean to you personally to call God “Abba, Father”?
Paul is concerned about the Galatians turning back to their old ways (vv. 8–11). Why is it so easy for people to return to familiar patterns, even when they’ve experienced freedom in Christ? How can we encourage one another to stay rooted in the gospel?
Paul describes his ministry as laboring like a mother in childbirth until Christ is formed in the Galatians (v. 19). What does it look like for Christ to be “formed” in us? How can we help others grow spiritually in their walk with Christ?
Enhancing Understanding with Historical Insights
The “special days and months” (v. 10) likely refer to Jewish feasts and Sabbaths that the false teachers claimed were necessary for salvation. Paul argues that these observances enslave rather than free believers.
Insight from Martin Luther: “The law is a divine teaching which shows us our sin and drives us to Christ, but it cannot justify or save us. Only the gospel brings life.”
This passage invites us to reflect on the freedom we have as God’s children, the dangers of falling back into legalism, and the importance of helping others grow in Christ. Paul’s personal and heartfelt appeal shows us the depth of his love for the Galatians and his passion for the gospel.

Session 8: Galatians 4:21–5:1 — Freedom in Christ
Text - Galatians 4:21–5:1
21 Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says? 22 The Scriptures say that Abraham had two sons, one from his slave wife and one from his freeborn wife. 23 The son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt to bring about the fulfillment of God’s promise. But the son of the freeborn wife was born as God’s own fulfillment of his promise.
24 These two women serve as an illustration of God’s two covenants. The first woman, Hagar, represents Mount Sinai where people received the law that enslaved them. 25 And now Jerusalem is just like Mount Sinai in Arabia, because she and her children live in slavery to the law. 26 But the other woman, Sarah, represents the heavenly Jerusalem. She is the free woman, and she is our mother. 27 As Isaiah said,
“Rejoice,
O childless woman,
you who have never
given birth!
Break into a joyful shout,
you
who have never been in labor!
For the desolate woman now has
more children
than the woman who lives
with her husband!”
28 And you, dear brothers and sisters, are children of the promise, just like Isaac. 29 But you are now being persecuted by those who want you to keep the law, just as Ishmael, the child born by human effort, persecuted Isaac, the child born by the power of the Spirit.
30 But what do the Scriptures say about that? “Get rid of the slave and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the free woman’s son.” 31 So, dear brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman; we are children of the free woman.
5 So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
Overview:
Using
the allegory of Sarah and Hagar, Paul illustrates the difference
between slavery under the law and freedom through God’s promise. He
calls believers to stand firm in the freedom Christ has given.
Lead-In Question - What does it mean to stand firm in the freedom Christ offers? What challenges might we face in doing so?
Discussion Points for Galatians 4:21–5:1
1. Two Sons, Two Covenants (4:21–23)
Paul uses the story of Abraham’s two sons—Ishmael (born to Hagar, the slave woman) and Isaac (born to Sarah, the free woman)—to illustrate two covenants. Ishmael represents slavery to the law, while Isaac represents freedom through God’s promise.
Paul reminds the Galatians that trying to achieve righteousness by following the law is like being a child of Hagar—enslaved. In contrast, those who trust in God’s promise, like Isaac, are free.
Imagine someone trying to earn a gift they’ve already been given. That’s like living under the law when Christ has set us free.
Martin Luther said, “These two, the law and the gospel, cannot coexist. Either you are under the law or under grace.”
2. Hagar and Sarah: Allegory of Bondage and Freedom (4:24–27)
Paul explains that Hagar represents the covenant of Mount Sinai (the law) and earthly Jerusalem, which leads to slavery. Sarah represents the covenant of God’s promise and the heavenly Jerusalem, which brings freedom.
The Galatians were being tempted to live under the old covenant of the law, but Paul urges them to embrace the freedom of the new covenant in Christ.
It’s like choosing to stay in a locked room when the door has already been opened—you’re free, but you’re living as if you’re still trapped.
3. Children of the Free Woman (4:28–31)
Paul tells the Galatians they are like Isaac, children of the promise, not like Ishmael, children of slavery. He urges them to reject anything that enslaves them and live as free people in Christ.
Just as Isaac’s inheritance was based on God’s promise, not human effort, our salvation comes from faith in Christ, not from following the law.
4. Freedom in Christ (5:1)
Paul concludes with a powerful statement: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” He warns them not to submit again to the “yoke of slavery.”
Christ’s death and resurrection give us freedom from sin, guilt, and the need to earn our salvation. Living in freedom means trusting in His finished work on the cross.
John Stott said, “Christian freedom is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.”
Discussion Questions
Paul uses the story of Hagar and Sarah to explain the difference between slavery and freedom. What are some modern examples of things that might enslave us spiritually? How can we remind ourselves daily that we are free in Christ?
Paul says, ‘It is for freedom that Christ has set us free’ (5:1). What does freedom in Christ mean to you personally? How can we avoid the temptation to “go back” to trying to earn God’s favor through our own efforts?
Enhancing Understanding with Historical Insights
The Judaizers in Galatia were insisting that Gentile Christians follow Jewish laws, like circumcision, to be fully part of God’s people. Paul counters that salvation is based on faith in Christ alone, not on the law.
Insight from Charles Spurgeon: “There is no joy in the world like the liberty of grace. When the Lord brings it to us, it is like a new sunrise, a new birth, a new heaven, and a new earth.”
This passage teaches that we are heirs of God’s promise, not slaves to rules and rituals. It encourages us to live in the freedom Christ has given us and to reject anything that tries to put us back under the yoke of slavery.

"It

Session 9: Galatians 5:2–6:18 — Life in the Spirit
Text - Galatians 5:2–6:18
2 Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3 I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses. 4 For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.
5 But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us. 6 For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.
7 You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth? 8 It certainly isn’t God, for he is the one who called you to freedom. 9 This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough! 10 I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.
11 Dear brothers and sisters, if I were still preaching that you must be circumcised—as some say I do—why am I still being persecuted? If I were no longer preaching salvation through the cross of Christ, no one would be offended. 12 I just wish that those troublemakers who want to mutilate you by circumcision would mutilate themselves.
13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. 14 For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another.
16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. 18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
1 Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. 2 Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. 3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.
4 Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. 5 For we are each responsible for our own conduct.
6 Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them.
7 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. 8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. 9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. 10 Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.
11 Notice what large letters i use as i write these closing words in my own handwriting.
12 Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised want to look good to others. They don’t want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save. 13 And even those who advocate circumcision don’t keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples.
14 As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died. 15 It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation. 16 May God’s peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle; they are the new people of God.
17 From now on, don’t let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus.
18 Dear brothers and sisters, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Overview:
Paul
concludes with practical instructions on living by the Spirit,
bearing fruit, and doing good to others. He contrasts the works of
the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit and reminds believers to boast
only in the cross of Christ.
Lead-In Question: How can we cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in our lives? What role does the Spirit play in helping us live for God?
Discussion Points for Galatians 5:2–6:18
1. Freedom in Christ, Not Legalism (5:2–12)
Paul warns the Galatians that relying on circumcision (or any work of the law) for salvation means they’re rejecting grace. Salvation is through faith in Christ alone.
When we try to earn God’s favor by following rules, we’re denying that Christ’s sacrifice is enough. Paul calls this a "yoke of slavery."
Imagine someone paying off a debt that’s already been forgiven—it’s unnecessary and misses the point of grace.
John Stott said, “The essence of Paul’s argument is that circumcision and the cross are mutually exclusive. You cannot have both.”
2. Living by the Spirit (5:13–26)
Paul explains that freedom in Christ is not a license to sin but an opportunity to serve one another in love. He contrasts the "acts of the flesh" with the "fruit of the Spirit."
Walking by the Spirit means allowing God to guide our thoughts, actions, and desires. This produces love, joy, peace, and other fruits that reflect Christ’s character.
Think of a tree that’s well-watered—it naturally produces good fruit. When we stay connected to God, the Spirit produces good fruit in our lives.
Charles Spurgeon said, “The Spirit of God is always in harmony with the Word of God.”
3. Bearing One Another’s Burdens (6:1–10)
Paul encourages believers to gently restore those caught in sin and to bear each other’s burdens. He also reminds them to persevere in doing good.
Helping others doesn’t mean carrying their responsibilities for them, but supporting them when life gets heavy. This reflects Christ’s love for us.
Picture a team lifting a heavy log together—it’s too much for one person, but together they can manage.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, “It is the fellowship of the cross to experience the burden of others.”
4. Sowing and Reaping (6:7–10)
Paul warns that we reap what we sow. If we live to please the flesh, we reap destruction. If we live to please the Spirit, we reap eternal life.
Our daily choices—how we spend our time, resources, and energy—have eternal consequences. Paul encourages us to keep sowing to the Spirit.
Billy Graham said, “We are sowing seeds every day, and we will reap the harvest in due time.”
5. Boasting Only in the Cross (6:11–18)
Paul concludes by contrasting the false teachers, who boast in outward signs like circumcision, with himself, who boasts only in the cross of Christ.
Our identity and worth come not from what we do but from what Christ has done for us. Paul declares that the world has been crucified to him, and he to the world.
How does focusing on the cross change the way we live and view ourselves?
John Piper said, “The cross is not just a symbol of salvation; it is the way we live as saved people.”
Discussion Questions
Paul says that in Christ, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value, but only faith working through love (5:6). How can we focus more on living by faith and love instead of outward appearances or rules? Are there areas where we might fall into the trap of legalism today?
Paul describes the “fruit of the Spirit” in 5:22–23. Which of these qualities do you see most in your life? Which one do you want to grow in? How can we encourage one another to walk by the Spirit and bear good fruit?
Paul urges believers to carry each other’s burdens in 6:2. What are some practical ways we can do this in our church community? How can we balance helping others without becoming overwhelmed ourselves?
In 6:14, Paul says he will only boast in the cross of Christ. What does it mean to boast in the cross? How does this affect our attitude toward worldly achievements or possessions?
Enhancing Understanding with Historical Insights
The Judaizers emphasized circumcision as a mark of belonging to God’s people, but Paul insists that faith in Christ is the true mark of God’s family.
Insight from Martin Luther: “The true Christian righteousness, which God has given to us freely in Christ, consists in faith, hope, and love. Not in ceremonies or outward works.”
This section of Galatians calls us to live in the freedom of grace, walk by the Spirit, and invest in eternal things. Paul reminds us that our boast is in the cross, where our salvation was fully accomplished. By bearing each other’s burdens and sowing seeds of love and faith, we live out the gospel in our daily lives.
