Introduction to the Course
Welcome to this study of Paul’s Letter to the
Galatians. We trust that the study of this Letter will enlighten
you and enlarge your understanding of the grace of God in Jesus
Christ, and the purpose and functions of the law. Furthermore,
that your daily experience will be one of living in that grace,
for salvation rests solely upon the grace of God. Galatians contains
the Good News of the Gospel of justification by faith apart from
the works of the law. Paul said ‘It is for freedom that Christ
has set us free’ (Galatians 5:1). Martin Luther, who considered
Galatians to be the best of all the Books in the Bible, once said, ‘The
Epistle to the Galatians is my Epistle, to it I am as it were in
wedlock. It is my Katherine’.
Following your application for the course, we
will send you the first two lessons. There are fourteen lessons
in all, as you will see below. When you complete your first lesson
and answer the questions set for that lesson, you should immediately send
your answers to us. We will then send you the next two lessons.
Between the time of your sending the work and receiving those two
lessons, you will be able to proceed with the second lesson. When
you have completed your third lesson we will then send you the
fifth and sixth lessons. This means that you will never be without
a lesson at hand.
