Illumination
God Made A Promise to Abraham, Galatians 3:15-18
There are two key parts of this promise:
Its Definitive Boundary
Its Defined Blessing
Its Determined Boon
The Definitive Boundry, 15
Covenant - a disposition of property by will or otherwise
The Defined Blessing, 16
The Determined Boon, 17-18
The Law, coming after the promise, does not, and cannot alter the promise.
Nor was it meant to do so.
God Gave A Law to Israel, Galatians 3.19-23
Paul raises two questions that he anticipated would be on the minds of his hearers:
What purpose does the Law serve?
Does the Law oppose the promise?
The Purpose of the Law, 19-20
It was added because of transgressions - people’s natural tendencies to break God’s Law
It was appointed by a mediator - one who stood between the people and God, Deuteronomy 5:5 “5 I stood between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the Lord; for you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain.
He said:”
Because mankind is naturally sinful, the Law stood between God and men, as its author, Moses, did.
It was a means of bringing the two closer together.
The Promise of the Law, 21-23
The Law confines all under sin, not deliverance
The Law promises, and requires, a deliverer
The Law did not oppose the Promise.
The Law kept the people for the Faith which would come in the future.
God Gave A Promise to All, Galatians 3:24-25
Justification—the judicial declaration of innocence by God—has always come through faith alone in Christ alone.
The Law served to teach us that lesson.
Once we learned that lesson, the Law’s purpose was fulfilled and it was no longer required.
Conclusion
Believers do not need to become Jews, Jews need to become believers.
Application
Everything in Chapter 3 has been one related appeal: Since both salvation and sanctification are products of faith through grace, there is no reason to return to the law of Moses or the rules of men.
Our effort cannot save us.
Our effort cannot sanctify us.
