  3. Balance of subjective teaching & objective teaching of unchanging Word of God (6-14) • “suffered” means experienced; Have you experienced so many in vain?” • “Foolish” means spiritually dull (3:1) while Jesus uses the same word meaning godless person • They saw God the Son (v.1) • They received the Holy Spirit (2-4) • Mentioned 18 times in Galatians • Only evidence of conversion is the presence of the Holy Spirit

  4. The works of the Holy Spirit • Convicts the lost sinners and reveal Christ (John 16:7-11) • Believer is born of the Spirit (John 3: 1-8) • Believer is baptized by the Spirit (1 Cor 12:12-14) Believer is sealed by the Holy Spirit (Eph 1:13-14) • The responsibility of the believers toward the Holy Spirit • Walk in the Spirit (Gal 5:16, 25) • Reading the Word, praying, and doing God’s will • Be filled with the Holy Spirit • Controlled by the Spirit; continuous experience like a river (John 7:37-39) • Results of disobeying God • Believer grieves the Spirit • Believer quenches the Spirit

  5. Guarantee of the Holy Spirit • The Spirit lives in the believer (1 Cor 6: 19-20) • The spirit abides forever (John 1416) • Flesh refers to the believer’s old nature • Human Birth • Two human parents create a child • Two spiritual parents are required for a child to be born into God’s family: the spirit of God & Word of God (John 3:1-8, 1 Peter 1:22-25) • Like a normal child having all he needs in life and nothing be added the believer has everything in life spiritually, nothing needed be added • Scriptural argument (3:6-14) • Abraham was saved by faith (v.6-7) • “Accounted (v.6), “counted” (Gen 15:6), and “imputed” (Rom 4:11, 22-24) mean the same

  6. Greek word mean to put to one’s account • When sinner trusts Christ, God’s righteousness is put to his account • Physical descent doesn’t guarantee spiritual life (Matt 3:9) • Salvation is not inherited • Salvation is for Gentiles (8-9) • Heathen mean Gentiles • True believers of Abraham are the believers (both Jews & Gentiles) • Many blessings in covenant • Personal, national & political, and universal – spiritual • Jesus is the promised seed (Gal 3:16) • Salvation by faith, not law (10-12) • Law brings curse (Deut 27: 26) • Law demands obedience in all things

  7. The Just shall live by faith (Hab 2:4) • Romans 1:17; how sinner can be justified before God • Galatians tell how the just shall live • Heb. 10:38 discusses faith • The law kills and show sinner is guilty (Rom 3:20) • Law says, “do and live” while grace says, “Believe & live” • What law cannot do • Justify the sinner (2:16) • Give him the righteousness (3:21) • Give the gift of the Holy Spirit

  8. Guarantee the spiritual gift belonging to God’s children (3:2) • Give life (3:21) • Give liberty (4:8-10) • Salvation comes through Christ (3:13-14) • “He that is hanged is accursed” (Deut. 21:23) • Jews stoned them to death • Tree refers to the cross where Jesus died • He bore the curse of the law for us • “Redeemed” (3:13) • To purchase a slave for the purpose of setting him free • He purchased us through His blood • Salvation is being set free not exchanged

  9. Why Judaizers convince Galatian believers? • Bewitched means to cast a spell or fascinate • How did the legalism fascinate? • Appeals to the flesh • Loves to be religious to boast • Appeals to the senses • Gratification for senses • He cannot walk by faith • Measures and compares himself with others • True believers measures himself with Christ, not other Christians • The way to blessing is “by grace through faith”
