Appeal to Experience: Faith vs. Works
Galatians 3:1-5
1
You stupid Galatians! Who has put you under a spell? Before your very eyes Yeshua the Messiah was clearly portrayed as having been put to death as a criminal!
2
I want to know from you just this one thing: did you receive the Spirit by legalistic observance of Torah commands or by trusting in what you heard and being faithful to it?
3
Are you that stupid? Having begun with the Spirit’s power, do you think you can reach the goal under your own power?
4
Have you suffered so much for nothing? If that’s the way you think, your suffering certainly will have been for nothing!
5
What about God, who supplies you with the Spirit and works miracles among you — does he do it because of your legalistic observance of Torah commands or because you trust in what you heard and are faithful to it?
