GALATIANS Chapter 3 3:1 Galatians! Galatians! Have you completely lost your common sense? Can’t you see how the law bewitched you and blurred your vision to distort the revelation of what the cross of Christ accomplished in you? This was so clearly predicted in Scripture. How can you not be persuaded by the truth? (He did not die as an individual, he died your death! Isa 53:4, 5.) 3:2 Please would you reason with me on this one issue; on what basis did you receive the Holy Spirit? Are we talking gift or reward here? What kind of message ignites faith? What a condemned sinner and failure you are as revealed in the law, or what God believes to be true about you as revealed in the Gospel. Let’s not confuse Law with Grace. 3:3 Can you see how stupid it would be to start in the spirit (believing in the success of the cross) and then for some crazy reason to switch modes back to DIY again! As if your own works could add anything to what God has already done in Christ. ([DIY - Do It Yourself.] It would be suicidal! It’s like deliberately jumping out of the boat to try and swim across the ocean! There are two trees: the DIY tree or the Life tree. They represent two laws or systems: the law of works and the law of faith; the one represents what you have to do in order to become; the other tree reveals who you are by design and what Christ has done! Because of the Calvary-tree we are free to be! Spirit = faith; flesh = works.)
galatians 3:15 mirror bible...We are familiar with the fact that in civil affairs a testament, once endorsed, is authoritative and cannot be tampered with at a later stage. 3:16 It is on record that the promise [of the blessing of righteousness by God’s faith] was made to Abraham and to his seed, singular, [thus excluding his effort to produce Ishmael.] Isaac, the child of promise and not of the flesh mirrors the Messiah. 3:17 This is my reasoning: God endorsed the covenant of promise in Christ 430 years before the law was given. The law did not later replace the promise! (God’s means of justifying mankind would always be by faith in his promise and never by their own ability to keep moral laws.) 3:18 The law and the promise are not compatible; the one system nullifies the other. God gifts Abraham with heir-ship by promise (and not by reward for his behavior.) 3:19 So what is the use of the law then? The law was doing you a 1favor, in that it was 2positioned as a 3mirror-measuring rod as an intermediary arrangement to make people aware of the extent of their out of sync-ness with the life of their design and at the same time point them to the promise of a Redeemer, the Messianic seed! It was given by angelic messengers to Moses..Jesus entered the promised land..not Moses..finished work..we are in Christ..all died.all rose.
