Apostle and author of the letter to the Galatians.
Paul addresses the Galatians, emphasizing justification by faith and not by the works of the law. He uses the example of Abraham to illustrate that faith, not law, is the basis of righteousness.
Patriarch and exemplar of faith.
Paul uses Abraham as an example to show that righteousness comes through faith. Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, demonstrating that the promise was given through faith, not the law.
The one through whom the promise is fulfilled.
Paul explains that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, so that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus.
