7/10 - St. Paul the letter to the Galatians

We have come the journey finishing Paul's letter to the Romans. In this week's study, we are continuing with Paul's letter to the Galatians.
To those Christians newly converted from paganism, Paul re-stated the key concepts for Christianity. For the early church, some missionaries might have imposed certain Mosaic law to those neophytes including the law of circumcision. These interlopers insisted on the necessity of following certain precepts of the Mosaic law along with faith in Christ. When Paul learned of the situation, he wrote this defense of his apostolic authority and of the correct understanding of the faith.
Along the same apostolic theme as Romans, Paul made us clear that salvation is truly the grace of the Lord. None of the human intervention, especially the "law" created from human beings, can lead us to the justice of the Lord
We will start the summer with St. Paul's letter to the Galatians in our Bible study. We will pray the the Lord to lead us throughout this journey. May the Lord provide us guidance and wisdom to have deepen our faith through thy grace.

Bettina will lead us the discussion starting in chapter 1.
