Galatians Lesson 18

Welcome back to Wednesday Night Bible Study The central message of this lesson is that the Mosaic Law, though not contrary to God's promises, served a temporary and preparatory role by revealing humanity's sinfulness and inability to achieve righteousness through obedience, thereby driving people to faith in Christ. The Law functioned as a guardian and schoolmaster, imprisoning all under sin until the coming of Christ, whose finished work fulfills the Law and establishes a new covenant of faith. Through faith in Christ, believers—regardless of ethnicity, gender, social status, or background—are united as sons of God, heirs of Abraham's promise, and clothed in Christ, transcending all earthly divisions. The sermon emphasizes that the Law's purpose was not to save but to expose sin and point to Christ, and that true identity now lies in being one in Christ, where distinctions fade before the unifying reality of grace and faith.
