| Summary: | Abstract Arguing against the Galatian agitators, Paul contents that the Gentiles are saved by faith and are incorporated into the community of God not by the works of the law. He begins his argument by pointing out that the reception of the indwelling Spirit by faith is the undeniable evidence in their salvation experience. First, the reception of the Spirit proves the change of one’s status before God. The Spirit testifies to the newly established filial bond between God and a believer by the Spirit crying out “Abba Father” from within one’s heart. Second, the divine provision of the Spirit is the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham. Third, the Spirit is the guide and the sphere of Christian ethical living whose desire is against the desire of the flesh. |
