Paul writes a letter to the churches of Galatia to remind them that people are justified, or made righteous, through faith in Jesus Christ rather than by works of the law. He explains that he was appointed as an apostle by Jesus Christ and God the Father, not by any human authority. Paul asserts that a person is justified by faith in Christ and not by following Jewish laws and traditions, because no one can be justified by works of the law. He argues that if righteousness could be gained through the law then Christ's death would be for no purpose.
