  1. Why The Law Then?, Part 2 Galatians 3:23-4:7

  2. Galatians • The Galatian Question: Must the Gentiles become Jews to be right with God? • Paul’s Question: How is anyone made right with God?

  3. Galatians 3 • Paul Answer: Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. (7) • Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness

  4. Galatians 3 • those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham (9) • The Law bring a curse; faith brings blessing (10-14)

  5. Galatians 3 • Why the Law then? (19) • To make sin obvious to everyone • To condemn everyone

  6. Galatians 3 • But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. (22) • Romans 1-3

  7. Galatians 3:23 – 4:7 • We, You, and Our/Us • We/Our = Jews (sometimes) • You = Gentiles (or Galatians) • Our/Us = All Believers (sometimes)

  8. Galatians 3:22 SIN Everyone: Human Race

  9. Galatians 3:22 SIN Everyone: Human Race

  10. Galatians 3:22 • Every human being is shut up under sin • The only way out is through faith in Christ

  11. Galatians 3:23 The Law We: Jews

  12. Galatians 3:23 • The Jews were shut up under the Law, which served as a pedagogue • It was only temporary • Before faith came (23); now that faith has come (25)

  13. Galatians 3:24 BIRTH ADULT PEDAGOGUE LEARN DISCIPLINE EDUCATION CONDUCT TRAINING

  14. G. Walter Hansen The pedagogue “was given the responsibility to supervise and discipline the conduct of the child. He did not have the positive task of educating the child; he was only supposed to control the behavior of the child through consistent discipline.”

  15. Galatians 3:25 • What happened when you reached adulthood? • No longer under the pedagogue • Expected to live what was taught (Gal. 5-6)

  16. So What? • Live what was taught • 1 Cor. 4:14-17 • Recognize sin and kill it by the Spirit • Rom. 7-8 (Col. 3:1-17)

  17. Galatians 3:26 • For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. • This is true for everyone! (28)

  18. Let Me Sum Up • Abraham – faith, promise, blessing • Christ – the seed (heir) • We are baptized into Christ by faith • We are sons, heirs of the promise and blessing

  19. Galatians 4:1-3 Father (owner) Guardians (slaves) Son (heir)

  20. Galatians 4:4-7 • Jesus was fully human, and lived under the Law • He redeemed those under the Law • He took the curse, they get the blessing (3:10-14)

  21. Galatians 4:4-7 • He redeemed those under the Law, so they could become sons • All who are in Christ are sons • Our identity, our security, our hope • Not slaves, but heirs

  22. So What? • Rest in your sonship: you are fully accepted by the Father • You have all the rights and privileges of being God’s son • Eph. 1 – hope, inheritance, power
