Galatians 3:1-4:31
Premises
Premise
The Galatians received the Spirit and miracles by hearing of faith, not by works of the law.
Premise
Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith and preached the good news beforehand to Abraham that all nations would be blessed in him.
Premise
As many as are of the works of the law are under a curse, for the law curses everyone who does not continue in all its written requirements.
Premise
The law is not of faith, but the one who does the law's requirements will live by them.
Premise
The law was added because of transgressions until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made.
Premise
Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Premise
Before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, and the law became our tutor to bring us to Christ so that we might be justified by faith.
Premise
As many as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ, and in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for all are one in Christ Jesus.
Premise
The heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a bondservant, though lord of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
Premise
We also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
Premise
When the fullness of the time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman and born under the law, to redeem those under the law and to give adoption as children.
Premise
Because you are children, God sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying 'Abba, Father!'
Premise
Formerly in bondage to those that are not gods, but now known by God, you turn back to weak and miserable elemental principles and observe days, months, seasons, and years.
Premise
Abraham had two sons, one by the servant and one by the free woman; these are two covenants, one from Mount Sinai bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar, corresponding to the present Jerusalem, while the Jerusalem above is free.
Galatians 4:22Galatians 4:23Galatians 4:24Galatians 4:25Galatians 4:26
Premise
As the flesh-born son persecuted the Spirit-born, so now; Scripture says to throw out the servant and her son, for the servant's son will not inherit with the free woman's son.
Conditionals
Conditional
If the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
Conditional
If a law had been given that could make alive, then righteousness would have been of the law.
Conditional
If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring and heirs according to promise.
Conclusions
Conclusion
No one is justified by the law before God, for the righteous will live by faith.
Conclusion
The blessing of Abraham comes on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Conclusion
The law, which came four hundred thirty years later, does not annul the covenant confirmed beforehand by God so as to make the promise of no effect.
Conclusion
So you are no longer a bondservant but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
