The letter to the Galatian churches is Paul’s passionate attempt to recover and rescue the Galatian believers from leaving the gospel. Initially he used rebuke (1:6; 3:1, 3) and a lot of theological and intellectual arguments. Now in this section he uses emotional arguments. Firstly, he presents himself as a pattern to them and charges them to become like him. He abandoned the law and took his stand as crucified with Christ and living by him (2:20). Secondly, he reminds them of their initial response to the gospel. Thirdly, he accuses the circumcision party of making the Galatians feel “outside of God’s people” unless they become circumcised. Finally, he expresses maternal sentiment as he struggles that Christ would be formed in the Galatians. This section is full of emotion.
