Galatia cont.
Later Paul would write a letter to "the churches of Galatia" (Gal 1:2). In this letter Paul dealt with issues concerning the need for Christians to observe Jewish practices like circumcision. He argued that if people are put right with God through faith in Christ, not the Jewish Law, they also live by faith in Christ, not the Jewish Law.
