Verse 14: Paul gives the reading of the will. What is the estate determined by the death of Christ? 1. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ 2. That we might receive (at salvation) the promise of the Holy Spirit through the system of faith
Christian: Here is your will Galatians 3:8-9 And the Scripture (written will), foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, all the nations (Gentiles) shall be blessed in you. So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer

Principles of Roman Law and our Inheritance: 1. When a Roman will was ratified it was more than a document, it included a ceremony of sale 3. The Mosaic Law was not a codicil to the will 4. The promise of inheritance to the heir of Abraham cannot at any time be made void 4. Christ was THE HEIR (Galatians 3:16) but at the Cross He died for the human race. This made everyone who is in Christ heirs with Him (Current positional truth)
Principles of Roman Law and our Inheritance: 5. But the death of the Cross did not keep Jesus our Lord, he is risen from the grave 6. In Roman Law the heirs could be witnesses to the ratification of the will 7. Heirship is not based on the flesh but on the faith connection with Abraham 8. At the Cross Jesus died for all the sins of all mankind 9. Roman Law allowed a heir to be outside the physical family
Principles of Roman Law and our Inheritance: 10. Roman Law was that a benefactor could make a person an heir for a specific period of time then change to another heir 11. The heir of a Roman will did more than just receive the inheritance. He carried on the persona of the benefactor 12 The Father in Roman Law had full control over his heirs as long as he lived with no age limit or time of automatic emancipation.
