Why the Law? - For weeks now, we have seen how Paul has hammered at the Galatians’ reliance on the Mosaic Law in addition to faith in Christ for a right standing with God. This week, Paul explains to the Galatians what the Mosaic Law was intended to do. By placing themselves under that Law, Paul argues, the Galatians actually misunderstood the entire purpose of the Law as it was given to Israel. Join us this Sunday as we turn to Galatians 3:15-29, and explore the purpose of the Law then and now. Galatians 3:15-29.
Free in Christ is our summer sermon series on the Book of Galatians. This letter is probably the first that Paul wrote, and is among the earliest books of the New Testament. It foreshadows the conflict in Acts 15 at the Jerusalem Council. It also shows a range of emotions for the Apostle Paul, who is incredulous at heretical developments in the churches he planted in what is now south-central Turkey.
