Galatians 5-6

What is the only thing that counts?

The only thing that counts is faith...which is expressed through love. (Galatians 5:6). So, even Paul suggests that our faith must have an outward expression. The evidence of our faith is the acts of love we do. That is a measure of faith.


How is the law summed up?
Galatians 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."15If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.The wisdom of that statement is self evident!

Name the 9 parts of the fruit of the spirit.


Galatians 5:22 love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Please notice that these are not fruits (Plural) of the spirit. There is just one fruit. It is made up of several components. To bear the fruit of the spirit is to bear ALL of these components.

How is a transgressor to be restored?

A transgressor is to be restored, gently.


Sowing to the flesh reaps what? To the Spirit? What is our society reaping?

One who sows seeds of the flesh reaps destruction one who sows the seeds of the spirit reaps eternal life.

Galatians 3-4

All who rely on the law are under a _______. How are we clothed with Christ?


Curse. Following the law for righteousness or salivation requires that we continue to do everything the law requires. God luck to those of you who are depending on your obedience to the law as your evidence of salvation.


As for me, the just shall live by faith. My faith is in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for my sins.


We are clothed with Christ through our baptism.
Baptism is not our salvation. However baptism is the outward clothing, covering, that we put over our salvation.



The Galatians are not children of the flesh but children of the?

The Galatians as believers are children of the Promise. The promise is the promise that God gave Abraham. Abraham wasn’t sure of the specifics of the promise except that God had called him and promised him a great nation.
We have the specifics of the promise. It is Jesus Christ.

Galatians 1-2

How can there be 'another gospel'? From where did Paul get the gospel?

There can’t be another gospel. Paul received the gospel by revelation from Jesus Christ (1:11)
If justification comes through works of the law what did Christ die for? What is nullified if justification comes through works of the law?


If justification could come through works of the law then Jesus died for nothing, and the grace of God is nullified.
