Galatians 3:2

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Galatians 3:2. This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

They had gone off into legality; they were trying to be saved by ceremonies, and by works of their own. "Well," asks Paul, "how did you receive the Spirit,-the Spirit by which miracles were wrought among you, the Spirit by which you spoke with unknown tongues, the Spirit which changed and renewed your hearts? If you did indeed receive him, did you receive him by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?" There was only one reply to the question; the Spirit came to them as the result of faith.
