But they only head this: He who was formerly persecuting us is now announcing as the gospel the faith which formerly he ravaged.-Galatians 1:23. The faith here.... implies our believing in Christ, taking His person and redemptive work as the objective of our faith. The faith, replacing the law, by which God dealt with people in the Old Testament, became the principle by which God deals with people in the New Testament. This faith characterizes the believers in Christ and distinguishes them from the keepers of the law. This is the main emphasis of this book [Galatians]. The law of the Old Testament stresses letters and ordinances, whereas the faith of the New Testament emphasizes the Spirit and life.-RcV. footnotes With much hope that you enjoyed this short too. Grace with you.
