The outline for Galatians, Chapter 1 can be found here.
History of Existence Redemptive Principle in Light of Galatians 2: God enjoyed perfect fellowship with Himself, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, continually before time and creation existed [Existence History Theme]. He sought to continue enjoying Himself thorough freely revealing His Trinitarian holiness and love to and through creation. He thus created all things, and allowed sin to temporally hide His holiness and love from sinners. God however set His redemptive plan in motion as detailed in Gen. 3:15. Satan would bruise Christ’s heal, but Jesus would crush his head. As a result of God seeking to continue enjoying Himself, He revealed His holiness and love to sinners by sending His Son to live a perfect life, to die for sins He did not commit, and to rise from the dead to reconcile sinners to Himself [Redemptive History Theme]. These sinners are justified through Christ alone according to the apostle Paul as detailed in Galatians 2 [Galatians 2 theme]. Thus, Christians have the privilege of enjoying the Lord through this gospel, receiving His grace through faith in Christ alone [Galatians theme], as He enjoys Himself through reconciling us to Himself.
