The Book of Galatians is a letter from the Apostle Paul to the churches in the region of Galatia, likely written around AD 48–55. Paul founded these churches during his early missionary journeys, and he writes to address pressing concerns after hearing that some new believers were being influenced by teachers who insisted on observing certain Jewish laws as necessary for salvation.

Galatians stands out for its passionate tone and clear message: true freedom and acceptance with God come through faith in Jesus Christ, not by following religious rules or rituals. Paul firmly defends the gospel of grace, arguing that believers are justified by faith alone and that the Spirit, not the law, empowers Christian living.

The letter explores themes of identity, the purpose of the law, the fruit of the Spirit, and what it means to be part of God’s family. Galatians calls readers to live out their faith in the freedom, unity, and love that flow from the gospel.
