Day 92 - Galatians 3-4

Paul emphasized justification by faith in Jesus Christ because the Gentiles were being taught a works salvation by some of the Jews. God’s covenant with Abraham was fulfilled through Jesus. He completed the Law and offers freedom to those who place their faith in Jesus. Believers are adopted as children of God, becoming heirs of God. Paul was concerned that the Gentiles were returning to false gods and returning to captivity under the Law. Some Jews confused the Gentile believers and insisted they must live according to the Law. Believers are children of God who are born in the Spirit. Paul taught that believers were free, having no purpose in being held captive by the Law.
