The Apostle Paul In The Book Of Galatians

The book of Galatians is a letter from Paul. It was written by the Apostle Paul and possibly could have been his first letter. The churches in Galatia were comprised of both Jewish and Gentile converts. Paul’s purpose in writing to these churches was to confirm them in the faith, especially concerning justification by faith alone, apart from the works of the Law of Moses. The key personalities of this book are the Apostle Paul, Judaizers, false teachers, circumcision, fruits of the sprit, 10 commandments, and Abraham. Paul writes this book to deal with the problem of circumcision and Jewish legalism toward Gentile believers. It was written because the churches of that region were facing a theological crisis. In other words, convert to Judaism first, and then you are eligible to become a Christian.
He saw himself as Jesus’ friend and followed him though his amazing journey. Chapter two of Galations explains pauls theory of when Jesus died. Paul then declares that Christ now lives within him, and directs, and empowers him to live as Christ’s ambassador and instrument: "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me" (2:20). Paul is a leader and the people listened to him. He will use this leadership to bring more people into the Jewish community in
