Gal 3 & 4
Examination.
It does us good to examine ourselves to make sure our spiritual experience is valid.
Do you have the Spirit living within?
If you began in the Spirit (which by the way is the only way to begin), are you now trying to continue in the power of the flesh?
We can get offtrack if our communication with the Lord is not continued each day.
Like Abraham, were you saved by faith?
And are you now like Abraham, walking by faith?
Explanation.
The Judaizers wanted the Galatians to go back to Moses.
But that is not far enough, we must go back to Abraham, where the promise started.
You see, the Law did not annul the promise.
The Law was given to reveal sin and prepare the way for Christ to come and fulfill the promise.
The law is a tutor, not a saviour.
A mirror, not a cleanser.
Exhortation.
Beware of false Gospel – robs you of salvation and of membership in the family of God, where all believers are one in Christ.
It robs you of your spiritual riches as an heir of the promise.
Are you rejoicing in the freedom you have in Christ?
