If you get the gospel wrong, you get everything wrong. In first-century Galatia, false teachers infiltrated the church, claiming that faith in Jesus Christ is not enough to be justified in God’s sight. Responding to this distortion of the gospel, the Apostle Paul wrote a passionate letter defending the doctrine of justification by faith alone, for he knew what was truly at stake. In this teaching series, Dr. Derek Thomas walks us through the background, teaching, and importance of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. While false gospels drive people to despair, the true gospel frees us to rest in Christ alone for our salvation.
