CHRIST HAS REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW
Gal 3:23 Until Christ came we were guarded by the law. Kept in protective custody, so to speak, until we could believe in the coming Savior.
V24. Let me put it another way. The Jewish laws were our teacher and guide until Christ came to give us right standing with God through our faith. V25 But now that Christ has come, we don’t need those laws any longer to guard us and lead us to him. V26 For now we are all children of God through faith in Jesus
Christ. V27 and we who have been baptized into union with Christ are enveloped by him. V28 We are no longer Jews or Greeks or slaves or free men, or even merely men or woman, but we are all the same- we are Christians; we are one in Christ Jesus.
V29 And now that we are Christ’s we are the true descendants of Abraham, and all of God’s promises to him belong to us.
Gal 5:22 But when the Holy Spirit controls our life he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, v23 gentleness and self control; and here there is no conflict with Jewish laws. Those who belong to Christ have nailed their natural desires to his cross and crucified them there.
V25 If we are living now by the Holy Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives v26 Then we won’t need to look for honors and popularity, which leads to jealously and hard feelings.
Chap 6:4 Let everyone be sure that he is doing his very best, for then he will have the personal satisfaction of work well done and won’t need to compare himself with someone else. V5 Each of us must bear some faults and burdens of his own. For none of us are perfect!
