Gal 3:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : Paul asks how they received the Holy Spirit. Was it by the works of the law , or by the hearing of faith ? (Galatians 3:2 ). He means that when they became Christians, they received the Holy Spirit, not just by being better people, but by believing in Jesus. Many of them even saw miracles and special gifts from God. These things were proof that faith in Christ brings us close to God, not just following rules. Usually, God gives His Spirit to people through the message of the gospel. It is not wise to turn away from the teaching that helped you grow in your faith.
