Thus Paul arraigned the believers in Galatia before the tribunal of their own conscience and sought to arrest them 385 in their course. Relying on the power of God to save, and refusing to recognize the doctrines of the apostate teachers, the apostle endeavored to lead the converts to see that they had been grossly deceived, but that by returning to their former faith in the gospel they might yet defeat the purpose of Satan. He took his position firmly on the side of truth and righteousness; and his supreme faith and confidence in the message he bore, helped many whose faith had failed, to return to their allegiance to the Saviour.

Sådan krævede Paulus de troende i Galatien til regnskab for deres egen samvittigheds domstol og søgte at standse dem på deres færd. I tillid til Guds magt til at frelse og uden nærmere at ville gå ind på de frafaldne læreres doktriner søgte apostlen at få de omvendte til at se, at de var blevet groft bedraget, men at de ved at vende tilbage til deres tidligere tro på evangeliet endnu var i stand til at modstå Satans angreb. Med fasthed gik han ind for sandhed og retfærdighed og hans ophøjede tro og tillid til det budskab, han bragte, hjalp mange af dem, hvis tro havde svigtet, til at vende tilbage til deres samfund med Frelseren.
