Galatians 08

Over the past few weeks, we have been on a journey, one that has brought us face to face with religion that is either centered on works of the law or by faith alone in Christ.
The Galatians and others had been fooled into believing that Christianity was a mere add-on to the Jewish faith. What we have seen, however, is that Christ alone is enough. That we died to sin (were Crucified with Christ) and that now we are His and His alone. The good works, good deeds that we do are not because we “have to do” them, but rather we “want to do” them.
As we learned last week both in Galatians and Romans 6 (and 8) we are “No longer Slaves” to Sin, but we are coheirs with Christ.
This week we enter into chapter three and Paul, having set the stage by reminding the Galatians of the true gospel in the previous chapter are going to call them to a decision, while reminding the Jews (Judaizers) of their true heritage.
