Galatia

Facts

In New Testament times, Galatia was a Roman province located in the central part of what is now the present-day country of Turkey.

The apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Christians who lived in the province of Galatia. This letter is the New Testament book called Galatians.
The Gentile Christians in Galatia were being influenced by the Jewish Christians there to keep some of the Jewish laws.
One reason that Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians was to emphasize again the gospel of salvation by grace, not by works.
