Pastor John's Insights on Galatians

Salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, not by works.

Believers are sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

The law was like a guardian until Christ came, but now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

Paul states that there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for all are one in Christ Jesus.

Believers transform from being under the law as minors to becoming full-fledged children and heirs of God through Christ.

Justification by Faith is presented as a legal term.

Those from legalistic backgrounds and those insecure in their salvation.

Paul notes that God sent His Son 'when the set time had fully come,' to redeem those under the law so they might receive adoption to sonship.

It reassures them that their salvation is secure through faith in Christ and not dependent on their own works.

Paul's aggressive defense of the Gospel of grace.

It addresses the issue of salvation and justification by faith as opposed to works.

Paul clarifies that believers are not merely slaves but have been adopted as children and made heirs according to the promise.

Paul uses the metaphor of being 'clothed with Christ' through baptism.

Paul uses 'heirs' to describe believers who are no longer slaves but God's children and heirs of His promises.

Believers should see the law as a guide that leads them to Christ, but their justification comes through faith in Jesus alone.
