You Foolish Galatians (Gal. 3:1-11)

The doctrine of justification is the main subject of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. And as he argues, it’s not merely one doctrine among many, but rather one of the crucial components of the Christian Gospel. In fact, Luther argued that justification by faith alone is the article upon which the Church stands or falls.

White Horse Inn

Freedom in Christ (Gal. 5:1-15)

Usually this morality has very little to do with God’s law and is placed upon others as a way to gain God’s favor. On this episode of White Horse Inn our Hosts Michael Horton, Rod Rosenbladt, and Kim Riddlebarger explain Galatians […]

White Horse Inn
