Notes

Galatians 3:6–9

Abraham's story shows that faith has always been the basis for a relationship with God and for receiving God's promises.

Galatians 3:1–9

Paul compares the Galatians' spiritual experience (see 3:1 –5) with Abraham's (3:6 –9). He shows that both were made right with God through faith, not by following the law (Ephesians 2:8 –9).
