Bible Chapter Summary
Galatians 2 Summary
Justified by Faith Not by Works of Law
Paul confronted Peter at Antioch for withdrawing from Gentile table fellowship under pressure. We know that a person is not justified by works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. If righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
