Bible study on the focus on Faith in the Gospel account.

1. Galatians 3:1-14
True Life: Jesus died in our place, taking on Himself the
curse of our sin.

2. Galatians 3:1-3 (ESV)
The Spirit Confirms It
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?
It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was
publicly portrayed as crucified. 2 Let me ask
you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by
works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3 Are
you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are
you now being perfected by the flesh?

3. Galatians 3:4-5 (ESV)
The Spirit Confirms It
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain—if
indeed it was in vain? 5 Does he who supplies
the Spirit to you and works miracles among you
do so by works of the law, or by hearing with
faith—

4. Galatians 3:6-9 (ESV)
Abraham Believed It
6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was
counted to him as righteousness”?
7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the
sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing
that God would justify the Gentiles by faith,
preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham,
saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9
So then, those who are of faith are blessed along
with Abraham, the man of faith.

5. Galatians 3:10-12 (ESV)
The Curse Demands It
10 For all who rely on works of the law are
under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be
everyone who does not abide by all things
written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11
Now it is evident that no one is justified before
God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by
faith.” 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The
one who does them shall live by them.”

6. Galatians 3:13-14 (ESV)
The Curse Demands It
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the
law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written,
“Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of
Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that
we might receive the promised Spirit through
faith.

7. Galatians 3:1-14
True Life: Jesus died in our place, taking on Himself the
curse of our sin.

8. What is the Chief End of Man?

him forever.

us, when we are most
satisfied in Him. ~John

9. God’s Word
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV)
16 All Scripture is breathed
out by God and profitable
for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training
in righteousness, 17 that
the man of God may be
complete, equipped for
every good work.

12. Ephesians 4:26-27 (ESV Strong's)
26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the
sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no
opportunity to the devil.
In light of the Gospel, how are you doing
with anger?

13. Galatians 3:1-3 (ESV)
The Spirit Confirms It
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched
you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ
was publicly portrayed as crucified. 2 Let me
ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by
works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3 Are
you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are
you now being perfected by the flesh?

14. Galatians 3:4-5 (ESV)
The Spirit Confirms It
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain—if
indeed it was in vain? 5 Does he who supplies
the Spirit to you and works miracles among you
do so by works of the law, or by hearing with
faith—

15. Where do you see yourself in the Salvation
story?
Blessed or obsessed?

16. Galatians 3:6-9 (ESV)
Abraham Believed It
6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was
counted to him as righteousness”?
7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the
sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture,
foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by
faith, preached the gospel beforehand to
Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be
blessed.” 9 So then, those who are of faith are
blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

17. Galatians 3:10-12 (ESV)
The Curse Demands It
10 For all who rely on works of the law are
under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be
everyone who does not abide by all things
written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11
Now it is evident that no one is justified before
God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by
faith.” 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The
one who does them shall live by them.”

18. Galatians 3:13-14 (ESV)
The Curse Demands It
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the
law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written,
“Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of
Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that
we might receive the promised Spirit through
faith.

19. How do you see the Bible?
A unified story that
leads to Jesus?
Something to beat
people with?

20. How do we live with a focus
on faith? We take refuge in
Him.Psalms 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is
good!Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
