The Galatians Puzzle: The Law

Your Pod and Your Staff

We know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

Maybe you’re smarter than me. But here’s my reaction to this wonderful verse from Galatians (2:16) – I think I know what all those words mean, but I don’t think I know exactly what Paul means. So, in an exciting piece of news, the original Your Pod and Your Staff triumvirate is back together – that’s right, Miriam Hamilton makes her return to the podcast! And the trio try to piece together what Paul is saying in his letter to the Galatians. What does he mean by the law? What is / was the point of the law? Why is he so fired up about it? And, ultimately, why does it matter?

This conversation might feel a little bit LESS like looking at the finished product of a puzzle, and more like the frustration and confusion that putting a puzzle together can feel like. Of course, on the other side of that frustration is the JOY of seeing clarity – and seeing the true picture start to emerge.

So, we hope you come alongside us and enjoy trying to find the pieces to this Galatians puzzle!
