The Gospel in Galatians
Our Goal
To reflect on our own
understanding of the gospel.
Allow God’s Spirit to spark a
spiritual revival in our hearts as we rediscover what God has done for
us in Christ.
Ang Ating Mithiin. Upang pag-isipan ang sariling pagkaunawa sa ebanghelyo. ¶ Pahintulutan ang Espiritu ng Diyos na pasiklabin ang isang espirituwal na ribaybal sa ating puso habang tinutuklas natin muli ang ginawa ng Diyos para sa atin kay Cristo.

The Priority of the Promise
Key Text
Galatians 3:18 ESV
For if the inheritance comes by
the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.”
Susing Talata. “Sapagkat kung ang mana ay sa pamamagitan ng kautusan, ito ay hindi na sa pamamagitan ng pangako, subalit ipinagkaloob ito ng Diyos kay Abraham sa pamamagitan ng pangako” (Galacia 3:18).

8. How should the relationship between the two be understood,
The Priority of the Promise
Initial Words
Paul directs our attention to the relationship between God’s promise to Abraham and the law given to Israel 430 years later.
How should the relationship between the two be understood,
and what implications does that have for the preaching of the gospel?
Panimulang Salita. Dinadala ni Pablo ang ating pansin sa relasyon sa pagitan ng pangako ng Diyos kay Abraham at ang kautusang ibinigay sa Israel pagkatapos ng 430 taon. ¶ Paanong uunawain ang relasyon sa pagitan ng dalawang ito, ¶ at ano ang mga implikasyon nito sa pangangaral ng ebanghelyo?

The Priority of the Promise
1. The Purpose of the Law
Galatians 3:19a NKJV
What purpose then does the law serve?
It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made….”
1. Ang Layunin ng Kautusan. “Bakit pa mayroong kautusan? Ito ay idinagdag dahil sa mga paglabag, hanggang sa dumating ang binhi na siyang pinangakuan…” (Galacia 3:19a).

11. God’s covenant is a promise, and by no means is God a promise-breaker.
1. The Purpose of the Law
Law and Faith
Why did God gave the law to Israel about four centuries after Abraham? Did not the giving of the law nullify any previous arrangement?
The giving of the law through Moses cannot simply nullify God’s previous covenant with Abraham.
God’s covenant is a promise, and by no means is God a promise-breaker.
Kautusan at Pananampalataya. Bakit ibinigay ng Diyos ang kautusan sa Israel mga apat na daantaon pagkatapos ni Abraham? Hindi ba ang pagbibigay ng kautusan ay nagpapawalang-bisa sa naunang kaayusan? ¶ Ang pagbibigay ng kautusan sa pamamagitan ni Moises ay hindi basta pawawalang-bisa ang naunang tipan ng Diyos kay Abraham. ¶ Ang tipan ng Diyos ay isang pangako, at sa anumang paraan ang Diyos ay hindi isang maninira-ng-pangako.

12. This repeated negation of the works of the law raises the question,
1. The Purpose of the Law
Faith and Law
It is not the works of the law but faith that is the defining mark of the believer (Gal. 3:7).
This repeated negation of the works of the law raises the question,
“Does the law have absolutely no value, then?
Did God do away with the law?”
Pananampalataya’t Kautusan. Hindi ang gawa ng kautusan kundi ang pananampalataya ang nagtatakdang tatak ng mananampalataya (Galacia 3:7). ¶ Itong paulit-ulit na pagtanggi sa mga gawa ng kautusan ay ibinabangon ang katanungan, ¶ “Ang kautusan ba kung gayon ay lubos na walang halaga? Inalis ba ng Diyos ang kautusan?”

13. If justification by faith abolishes law, then there was
1. The Purpose of the Law
Faith and Law
“The plan of justification by faith reveals God’s regard for His law in demanding and providing the
atoning sacrifice.
If justification by faith abolishes law, then there was
need for the atoning death of Christ to release the sinner from his sins, and thus restore him to peace with God.”—The SDA Bible Commentary 6:510.
“Ang panukala ng pag-aaring-ganap sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya ay naghahayag ng pagturing ng Diyos sa Kanyang kautusan sa paghingi at pagbibigay ng nagbabayad na hain. ¶ Kung ang pag-aaring-ganap sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya ay pinapawi ang kautusan, ay walang pangangailangan ng nagbabayad na kamatayan ni Cristo upang palayain ang makasalanan mula sa kanyang kasalanan at sa gayon ay isauli siya sa kapayapaan sa Diyos.”—The SDA Bible Commentary 6:510.

14. Paul appears to have the moral law primarily in mind.
1. The Purpose of the Law
A Magnifying Glass
Some, believing that the word until in verse 19 (ESV) indicates that this law was only temporary, have thought the passage must refer to the ceremonial law, since the purpose of that law was fulfilled at the cross and thus came to an end.
Paul appears to have the moral law primarily in mind.
is it the
ceremonial law?
Isang Nagpapalaking Lente. Ang iba, na naniniwalang ang salitang hanggang sa talatang 19 ay nagpapakita na ang kautusang ito’y pansamantala lang, ay inisip na ang sipi ay tiyak na tumutukoy sa kautusang seremonyal, dahil sa ang layunin ng kautusang ‘yon ay natupad sa krus at sa gayon ay nakarating sa isang katapusan. ¶ Lumilitaw na si Pablo ay pangunahing nasa isip ang kautusang moral.

15. 1. The Purpose of the Law
A Magnifying Glass
The law had been in existence long before Sinai. The law was given to Israel for an entirely different purpose.
It was to redirect the people back to God and the grace He offers all who come to Him by faith. The law reveals to us our sinful condition and our need of God’s grace.
Ang kautusan ay umiiral na malayo pa bago ang Sinai. Ang kautusan ay ibinigay sa Israel para sa lubos sa naiibang layunin. ¶ Ito ay para iturong muli ang tao sa Diyos at sa biyayang Kanyang iniaalok sa lahat ng lalapit sa Kanya sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya. Inililitaw sa atin ng kautusan ang makasalanan nating katayuan at ang ating pangangailangan ng biyaya ng Diyos.

16. “The law acts as a magnifying glass.”
1. The Purpose of the Law
A Magnifying Glass
While the ceremonial laws pointed to the Messiah and emphasized holiness and the need of a Savior,
it is the moral law, with its “Thou shall nots,” that reveals sin, that shows us that sin is not just a part of our natural condition but is, indeed, a violation of God’s law.
Samantalang ang mga kautusang seremonyal ay nakaturo sa Mesiyas at idiniriin ang kabanalan at ang pangangailangan ng isang Tagapagligtas, ¶ ang kautausang moral, kasama ang mga “Huwag ka” nito, ang naglilitaw ng kasalanan, ang ipinapakita sa atin na ang kasalanan ay di lang bahagi ng ating natural na katayuan kundi isang pagsalangsang sa kautusan ng Diyos. ¶ “Kumikilos gaya nang isang lenteng nagpapalaki ang kautusan.”
“The law acts as a magnifying glass.”

17. and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary.
The Priority of the Promise
2. The Duration of the Law
Galatians 3:19 ESV
Why then the law?
It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made,
and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary.
2. Ang Tagal ng Kautusan. “Bakit pa mayroong kautusan? Ito ay idinagdag dahil sa mga paglabag, hanggang sa dumating ang binhi na siyang pinangakuan, ¶ at ito’y ibinigay sa pamamagitan ng mga anghel sa kamay ng isang tagapamagitan” (Galacia 3:19). Note: This illustration shows that the law is only up to the cross. This is not our understanding of Galatians 3:19.

18. 2. The Duration of the Law
“Until”
Many have understood this text to mean that the law given at Mount Sinai was temporary. It entered 430 years after Abraham and ended when Christ came.
The mistake readers often make with this passage is to assume that the word until always implies a limited duration of time. This is not the case.
“Hanggang.” Marami ang naintindihan ang talatang ito na nangahulugang ang kautusang ibinigay sa Bundok ng Sinai ay pansamantala. Pumasok ito 430 taon pagkatapos ni Abraham at natapos nang dumating si Cristo. ¶ [Internet illustration (key text), an example] Ang kadalasang kamalian ng mga bumabasa sa siping ito’y ang akalain na ang salitang hanggang ay laging nagpapahiwatig ng isang limitadong haba ng panahon. Hindi Ito ganito. [Sa Apoc 2:25 (ESV) Sinabi ni Jesus, “Ang nasa inyo’y panghawakan ninyong matibay hanggang sa ako’y dumating.” Ibig bang sabihin ni Jesus na kapag dumating na Siya’y di natin kailangang maging tapat?]

19. The role of the law did not end with the coming of Christ.
2. The Duration of the Law
“Until”
The role of the law did not end
with the coming of Christ.
What Paul is saying is that the coming of Christ marks a decisive turning point in human history.
Christ can do what the law could never do—provide a true remedy for sin, that is, justify sinners and, by His Spirit, fulfill His law in them.
Ang papel ng kautusan ay hind nagtatapos sa pagparito ni Cristo. ¶ Ang sinasabi ni Pablo ay ang pagparito ni Cristo ay nagtatakda ng isang tiyak na pagpihit sa kasaysayan ng tao. ¶ Magagawa ni Cristo ang hindi magagawa ng kautusan—magbigay ang isang tunay na gamot sa kasalanan, ibig sabihin, ariing-ganap ang makasalanan at, sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang Espiritu, ay tutuparin sa kanila ang kautusan.

20. The Priority of the Promise
3. The Inferiority of the Law
Galatians 3:19b, 20 Msg
It was arranged by angelic messengers through a middleman, Moses. But if there is a middleman… then the people are not dealing directly with God, are they?
But the original promise is the direct blessing of God, received by faith.”
3. Ang Kababaang-uri ng Kautusan. “Isinaayos ito ng mga sugong anghel sa pamamagitan ng isang tagapamagitan, si Moises. Subalit kung may namamagitan, kung gayon ang mga tao’y hindi tuwirang nakikitungo sa Diyos, di ba? ¶ Subalit ang orihinal na pangako ay ang tuwirang pagpapala ng Diyos na tinanggap sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya”
(Galacia 3:19b, 20 Msg.).

21. 3. The Inferiority of the Law
The Promise is Superior
The law is subsidiary to the promise, because it was mediated through angels and Moses.
The connection of angels to the giving of the law is not mentioned in Exodus, but it is found in several other places in Scripture (Deut. 33:2; Acts 7:38, 53; Heb. 2:2).
Nakakahigit ang Pangako. Ang kautusan ay dagdag sa pangako dahil ito’y pinamagitanan ng mga anghel at ni Moises. ¶ Ang kaugnayan ng mga anghel sa pagbibigay ng kautusan ay hindi binanggit sa Exodo, pero makikita ito sa ilang mga lugar sa Kasulatan (Deuteronomio 33:2; Gawa 7:38, 53; Hebreo 2:2).

22. 3. The Inferiority of the Law
The Promise is Superior
As majestic as the giving of the law was on Sinai, with countless angels in attendance, and as important as Moses was as the lawgiver, the giving of the law was indirect.
Kahit na kaydakila gaya ng pagbibigay ng kautusan sa Sinai, kasama ang di-mabilang na anghel, at kahit na napakahalaga gaya ni Moises bilang tagabigay ng kautusan, ang pagbibigay ng kautusan ay hindi deretsahan.

23. 3. The Inferiority of the Law
The Promise is Superior
In stark contrast, God’s promise was made directly to Abraham (and, therefore, to all believers), for there was no need for a mediator.
In the end, however important the law, it is no substitute for the promise of salvation through grace by faith.
Sa lubos na kataliwas, ang pangako ng Diyos ay tuwirang ginawa kay Abraham (at sa gayon ay sa lahat ng nananampalataya), sapagkat walang pangangailangan ng isang tagapamagitan. ¶ Sa wakas, gaano man kahalaga ang kautusan ay hindi ito kapalit sa pangako ng kaligtasan sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya.

24. The Priority of the Promise
Final Words
The law of God, spoken in awful grandeur from Sinai, is the utterance of condemnation to the sinner.
It is the province of the law to condemn, but there is in it no power to pardon or to redeem.”—EGW The SDA Bible Commentary 6:1094.
Huling Pananalita. “Ang kautusan ng Diyos na sinalita sa kakilakilabot na kamahalan sa Sinai, ay ang pagbigkas ng paghatol sa makasalanan. ¶ Tungkulin ng kautusan na humatol, pero walang kapangyarihan dito na magpatawad o tumubos.”—EGW The SDA Bible Commentary 6:1094.
