History of
the Book of Galatians
This
book is called Pros Galatas, "To the
Galatians". The name Galatians was given to this
Celtic people because they originally lived in Gaul
before moving from central Europe to Asia Minor in the
third century B.C. and settled in the area known today
as the Capitol of Turkey.
The term Galatia was used in an ethnographic sense,
meaning cultural/geographic, and a political sense. In
189 B.C. Galatia came under Roman domination and was
declared a Roman Province in 25 B.C. by Augustus of
Rome.
Paul wrote this epistle from Antioch, about 49 A.D.
prior to the Jerusalem Council in 50 A.D.
This book of Galatians is the truth of the gospel and
Christian freedom. Paul states the reality of our
liberty in Christ. Free from the power of sin. One of
the messages which comes from this book is that no
sinful person has been granted eternal life based on
good works. Anyone who lives by a confidence in works
alone is cursed. The reasoning is simple: no one can
perfectly obey the law. Galatians 3:10-12. Therefore,
this book refutes the Judaizers and calls Believers back
to the pure gospel. Salvation is by God's grace through
faith in Jesus Christ and nothing else.
The final message to the book is one of caution. There
is the ever-present danger of not relying on the power
of the Holy Spirit. The Believer starts displaying the
corrupt works of the flesh. Truly good works can only be
accomplished in the power of the Holy Spirit.
