Jesus and Law
Galatians
1.Central Theme: The Law of man is not Faith. We are justified not by the works of the law but by faith. Galatians 3:17-25, And this I say that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, can not annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was made; appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. But the scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in jesus christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came we were kept under the guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come,we are no longer under a tutor.
2.Choosing to follow the law of the flesh and not the faith of Christ.
3.Christ and Faith working through love
4. Galatians chapter 3:28, There is neither jew nor greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female for you are all one in christ. Chapter 3: 13-14 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us for it is written cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree. That the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in christ jesus that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith. Chapter 2:19-20 For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me and the life
