Galatians Lesson 4 - Repost

Galatians 3:15 - 4:7 In this lesson, Paul continues building his case against the Judaizers. In this section, Paul explains the complicated relationship between the Mosaic law and the promise of salvation given to Abraham and fulfilled in Christ.  He then concludes that as sons of God, we have an infinitely better status than the Old Testament believers who were slaves to the Mosaic Covenant.  One point of emphasis is the importance of understanding the nature of the covenant made with Abraham. Another important concept explored is the reason the Mosaic law was created in the first place and the role it serves in bringing us to Christ.
