  1. PAUL’S LETTER TO THE GALATIANS WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

  2. JOURNEY WITH GOD GALATIANS 3:3 HAVING BEGUN YOUR JOURNEY BY MEANS OF THE SPIRIT WHY DO YOU SEEK TO COMPLETE IT BY MEANS OF SELF-EFFORT? DOES THE DEATH OF JESUS MEAN NOTHING TO YOU? DOES GOD BLESS YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE GOOD, OR DOES HIS BLESSINGS PRODUCE GOODNESS?

  3. GRACE OR LAWor GRACE AND LAW? GRACE = GOD TAKING THE INITIATIVE AND WORKING IN OUR LIVES LAW = SEEKING TO WIN GOD’S ACCEPTANCE BY PERFORMANCE DOES GOD GIVE US A PUSH START AND THEN WE ARE ON OUR OWN?

  4. HOW MANY GOSPELS? GALATIANS 1:6-9 PAUL PREACHED THE GOSPEL BUT TEACHERS HAD ARRIVED WHO SAID THAT FAITH IN JESUS WAS NOT ENOUGH. CHRISTAINS HAVE TO KEEP THE MOSAIC LAW IF THEY WISH TO BECOME COMPLETE. SO THE NEW GOSPEL WAS FAITH + LAW JESUS + PERFORMANCE

  5. PROBLEM WITH THE LAW GALATIANS 3:19-24 THE LAW WAS GIVEN ONCE IT IS IMPERSONAL, INFLEXIBLE, DEMANDING, ASSESSING, CONDEMNING, UNFORGIVING IT DOES NOT SOLVE THE HUMAN PROBLEM BUT IT DOES PREPARE FOR IT

  6. ALL HUMANS ARE IN PRISON GALATIANS 3:22-23 ALL HUMANS ARE SHUT UP, CONFINED, IMPRISONED UNDER SIN THE LAW IS THE PRISON GUARD, ENSURING THAT WE CANNOT FREE OURSELVES FROM SIN’S CONTROL

  7. HUMAN SOLUTIONS SOLUTION #1 BECOME A MODEL PRISONER AND BUY YOUR FREEDOM PAUL – PHILIPPIANS 3:6 THE RICH YOUNG MAN – MATTHEW 19:20

  8. HUMAN SOLUTIONS SOLUTION #2 THROW OFF ALL CONSTRAINT • SCHOOLIES WEEK • FULL MOON FESTIVAL IN THAILAND • SECULARISM ‘S AGENDA

  9. PURPOSE OF IMPRISONMENT ROMANS 11:32 GOD HAS SHUT UP ALL INTO DISOBEDIENCE IN ORDER THAT HE MAY SHOW MERCY TO ALL GALATIANS 3:22-24 TO PREPARE US TO WELCOME JESUS CHRIST TO PREPARE US FOR FAITH AND GRACE

  10. MOTIVE FOR CHANGE HUMANS DO NOT WELCOME CHANGE TILL THEY ARE CONVINCED THAT IT IS NEEDED GALATIANS 3:19 THE LAW WAS ADDED TO EXPOSE SIN ROMANS 7:7-8 THE LAW ACTIVATES SIN HELPLESSNESS PREPARES FOR CHANGE

  11. THE HELPFUL LAW WHEN WITH THE HELP OF THE LAW I SEE THAT I AM IN PRISON AND CAN FIND NO WAY OUT THE LAW THEN POINTS ME TO THE GOSPEL THE LAW IS A GP WHO DIAGNOSES MY PROBLEM AND THEN REFERS ME TO THE SPECIALIST

  12. THE GALATIANS THEY WERE IGNORING THE SPECIALIST WHO ALONE COULD HELP THEY WERE GOING BACK TO THE GP WHO COULD ONLY DIAGNOSE IF YOU GO BACK TO THE PRISON GUARD HE WILL HAND YOU BACK OVER TO SIN
