Paul's contention that justification comes not through the law or the works of the law but by faith in Christ and in his death is supported by appeals to Christian experience and to scripture.
In order to clarify the false teaching among Galatians, Paul uses four different arguments to support his Gospel teaching: God's promise to Abraham, God's curse on works of law, God's promise before the Mosaic law, and inheritance of God's promise from the baptism through Christ.
In chapter 3, Paul stated clearly we are free by faith through the grace of our Lord. In spite all the theological arguments, Abraham gives us an perfect example. We can simply follow the foot step of Abraham's to trust the Lord. There is no question in my mind, our salvation comes from God's grace through our faith. Simply abiding the law can not free us from sin and eventually leads us to the Gehenna.
