Galatians 1:6&7
“Different gospel”– this was the teaching that salvation comes by keeping the law of Moses (3:1-5; 4:9-11, 21; 5:2-4. See Acts 15:1, 5). Paul had taught them the true gospel of Christ – that salvation is a free gift of God and received by faith (2:16; 3:6-9, 26; 5:5-6. Compare Rom 4:5; 6:23; Eph 2:8-9). False teachers preaching a false gospel came and told them that faith in Christ was not sufficient, that they also needed to obey the law of Moses, that self-effort had an important part in salvation. And these Galatian Christians were turning toward that false teaching.
