3 A Quick Review Chapter One 1:4 Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live. 5 All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

4 A Quick Review Chapter One 1:12 I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ

5 A Quick Review Chapter Two 2:19 For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. 20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

6 A Quick Review Chapter Two 2:21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.

7 A Quick Review Chapter Three 3:2 You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ.

8 A Quick Review Chapter Three 3:6 In the same way, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.” 7 The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.

9 A Quick Review Chapter Three 3:9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith

10 A Quick Review Chapter Three 3:19Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised

11 A Quick Review Remember Where We Started? 1:4 Jesus gave his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live. 5 All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

12 A Quick Review Chapter Three 3:24 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. 25 And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.

13 Summary The Judaizers had rejected both the message of salvation by grace and the messenger, the Apostle Paul. They claimed that he tricked the Galatians by a kind of easy-believism, which puts aside all need to live under the Old Testament Law.

14 Summary “All you need to do is follow a few ritual works and you will have done all you need for salvation.” Circumcision Observe certain holy days, or new moon ceremonies, or Sabbaths Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch! “They teach, do these things and you are set” Result; you can go back to your old way of life.

15 Sneak Peek At Chapter 5 5:19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. False teachers say, “After you have done these things, cut a little flesh, say a few words, pay a little cash, everything is fine.” Paul says, “Anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.”

16 Chapter Four Galatians 4:1-11 The dramatic transition from law to grace

17 Chapter Four Galatians 4:12-20 Paul’s treatment by the Galatians

18 Chapter Four Galatians 4:21-31 A Comparison

19 Conclusion Grace is God’s way. {Quotes from Bob Dieffenbaugh} (1) Grace is the message and the means of salvation. (2) Grace is the means of the Christian’s sanctification. (3) Grace is the motive and the means for the Christian’s service (4) The grace of God in the gospel is the standard for all teaching and conduct (5) Grace obliterates distinctions of superiority. (6) Grace is not just a perspective on the Law, but a perspective on life

20 The Result Of God’s Grace 2:20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

21 The Result Of God’s Grace Crucified = He died, I died. His death is my death. No other way for the payment of sin Christ lives in me = I trust Christ alone for my eternal life. I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God = Faith for living, Power for living Why would He give himself for me = He loved me

22 The New Law Love God Love One Another
