BY GRACE ALONE, THROUGH FAITH ALONE, IN CHRIST ALONE
GOD'S CHILDREN ARE NO LONGER SLAVES TO THE LAW
HOW TO USE
READ THE CHAPTERS IN THE BIBLE FOR EACH SESSION
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS + REFLECT ON THE READING
This study encourages going at your own pace, allowing each session to be a day, a week, or however long you need. Each session contains questions to be used for individual reflection or small group discussion.
This study was made to be used alongside Bible reading. Although we have created chapter summaries, there is no substitute for reading God's Word.
SESSION ONE: GALATIANS 1-3
BY GRACE ALONE, THROUGH FAITH ALONE, IN CHRIST ALONE
Paul was concerned with the Galatians’ abandonment of the faith. How did Paul correct their beliefs in false gospels?
In Galatians 1:10, whose approval was Paul seeking? How could this mindset be applied in today’s culture?
How does Paul’s conversion inspire other believers (Galatians 1:11-24)?
Why did Paul confront Peter (Cephas) regarding the Gentiles?
In Galatians 2:15-16, what did Paul say is necessary for justification?
What did Paul mean when he said that he had been crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20)?
How do believers receive the Holy Spirit (Galatians 3:2)?
Paul provided Abraham as an example of faith. Read Genesis 15:6. Why was Abraham considered righteous?
Compare Galatians 3:13-14 with Deuteronomy 21:23. What similarities did you find?
Summarize Paul’s statement in Galatians 3:28-29.
SESSION TWO: GALATIANS 4-6
GOD'S CHILDREN ARE NO LONGER SLAVES TO THE LAW
Read Galatians 4:7. From what are God’s children free? What is their inheritance as heirs of God?
In Galatians 4:19, how did Paul describe the anguish of waiting for the Galatians to accept Christ? What does this tell you about their relationship?
Paul brought up the stories of Hagar and Sarah from Genesis 16. How do their stories emphasize being a “child of promise”? What does that mean?
According to Galatians 5:6, what matters to God more than keeping the law? How was this completely different from what the Jewish people formerly knew?
In Galatians 5:13, how are believers called to respond to the freedom they have been given through Christ?
Read Galatians 5:16-17. How are the Spirit and the flesh at odds? Compare and contrast the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit.
How did Paul face persecution during his ministry? How does that make his instruction to “not grow weary in doing good” more meaningful?
