Les Wheeldon's study of the book of Galatians is a 31 page document which looks at the letter as a whole noting the following structure:

  • Gal 1:6-12 - His purpose in writing: To combat the corruption of the Galatian believers from the simplicity of the gospel.
  • Gal 1:13-24 - Paul's testimony: Salvation from the emptiness of man centred religion.
  • Gal 2 - Paul's authority: The gospel he preached and his relationship with the other apostles.
  • Gal 3 - Blessing and curse: The cursed emptiness of self effort  compared with the blessedness of a life of faith in the power of the spirit.
  • Gal 4 - Man's infancy:  Life under the law, compared with the glory of the new covenant that makes us sons of God.
  • Gal 5 - The choice: Spirit or flesh, a life of love or a life of sin.
  • Gal 6 - The freedom to serve: Free indeed at last, and truly free.
  • Gal 6:11-18 - Paul's passionate appeal: Paul is consumed with the cross and its effect on his life.
