The Gospel of Jesus We are Justified by Faith in Jesus

This week and in the coming weeks we are going to see Paul continue his speech from verses 2:13-14. Paul reminds the church that they (Paul and Peter) are Jews. He turns his attention from Peter to the Galatian church. Which seems that the church is suffering from similar issues with respect to Jewish law. This becomes important in the case Paul will make regarding the doctrine of justification by faith through Jesus Christ. It is not our works through the law of Moses or ‘works of the law’ that you are justified, it is through your faith in Jesus Christ. No work is required for salvation! That is given to us freely from the act of Jesus who died on the cross, was resurrected from the dead and rose to his Father now sitting at His Fathers right hand.
