The Epistle of Paul to the Galatians is a letter written to churches in Asia Minor in which the Apostle Paul combats false teachers who are undermining the crucial doctrine of justification by faith in Christ apart from works of the law. The Galatians have opened themselves up to this heresy of the necessity of circumcision and law keeping and are in danger of losing the truths of the gospel that were proclaimed to them at the establishing of their churches. Paul challenges them to reject these teachings and turn back from this dangerous road which can only lead to shipwreck of their faith and eternal destruction.
