In the New Testament, there is a collection of letters sent from early church leaders to local churches to provide insight, give encouragement, and answer questions these churches may have had. Many of the letters share the same structural format, but the letter to the Galatians is different. One would expect to find an introduction of the author to the recipients of the letter as well as some brief salutary remarks. However, in the letter of Galatians, the Apostle Paul wastes no time addressing the reasons why he has penned the letter. The Galatian Church was at great risk of leaving behind the truth of the gospel for man-made religion. Paul is so committed to the grace of God and His peoples' experience of it, that he takes the church to task and expresses astonishment at their potential departure. Paul is emphatic in reminding the Galatians that God's grace is a free, abundant gift for those who do not deserve it and can do nothing to deserve it.
