Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Galatians 3:15-18

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 3:17. The covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law cannot disannul.—From the recognised inviolability of a human covenant (Galatians 3:15), the apostle argues the impossibility of violating the divine covenant. The law cannot set aside the promise.MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Galatians 3:15-18The Divine Covenant of Promise—I. Is less susceptible of violation than any human covenant.—“Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 3:19. Wherefore then serveth the law?—As it is of no avail for justification, is it either useless or contrary to the covenant of God? It was added because of transgressions.—To bring out into clearer view the transgressions of the law; to make men more fully conscious of their sins, by being perceived as transgressions of the law, and so make them long for the promised Saviour. It was ordained by angels in the hand of a Mediator.—As instrumental enactors... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 3:22. The Scripture hath concluded all under sin.—The written letter was needed so as permanently to convict man of disobedience to God’s command. He is shut up under condemnation as in a prison.Galatians 3:24. The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ.—As a tutor, checking our sinful propensities, making the consciousness of the sinful principle more vivid, and showing the need of forgiveness and freedom from the bondage of sin.MAIN HOMILETICS... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 3:26. Ye are all the children of God.—No longer children requiring a tutor, but sons emancipated and walking at liberty.Galatians 3:28. Ye are all one in Christ Jesus.—No class privileged above another, as the Jews under the law had been above the Gentiles. Difference of sex makes no difference in Christian privileges. But under the law the male sex had great privileges.Galatians 3:29. If ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs.—Christ is... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:13

Galatians 3:13 (with Romans 5:21 ; 1 Corinthians 15:56 ; Galatians 4:1 , Galatians 4:5 ; Romans 7:4 ) The Saviour of Men. Take the illustration of a drowning man, and compare it with the hapless condition of sinful men. In order to save the man there must be six conditions of success. I. Some one from the shore must undertake to save him. II. The helper must leave the shore and come to him, so that he can grasp him. III. In order to come to him his deliverer must come within the sweep of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:23

Galatians 3:23 The Reasonableness of the Gospel. I. There is something of a military allusion in this passage which it may be well to point out. The expression "kept under the law" denotes in the original being kept as in a citadel or garrison. It is this expression, "shut up unto the faith," which gives our text much of its power and singularity. The Law surrounded the Jews, as it were, with a rampart, effectually preventing their uniting with the rest of mankind, until their object of faith,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:24

Galatians 3:24 Love in the Schooling of the Law. Over all righteousness before men the will has power, because it is a righteousness of outward acts; but the will has not power over the desires and affections, in other words over the superior faculties of which it is a servant. It can produce good deeds to a certain extent, but it cannot produce good tendencies. Our actions are in our own hand, but our hearts are not. And God's law, which is summed up in one command, "Thou shalt love," regards... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:28

Galatians 3:28 I. When we look at the history of the world, we learn something, even from ordinary history, of the oneness of the human race. We are one with those who are very distant from us in time. When we read the history of the men of old, we see how like they were to ourselves in their passions, in their sufferings, in their desires, and in their rejoicing. The old fathers looked not for transitory promises. If their family life was blessed, it was from looking forward in the same spirit... read more

DISCOURSE: 2062REDEMPTION BY CHRISTGalatians 3:13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.THE law, which subjects all mankind to a curse, is the moral law; that is principally intended in the passage before us [Note: It is that law, from the curse of which Abraham and the Gentiles were redeemed, ver. 10; and consequently, though the ceremonial law be not entirely excluded, the text must be understood principally in reference to the moral law.]: it remains... read more

DISCOURSE: 2067THE THIRD USE OF THE LAW, AS A RULE OF LIFEGalatians 3:19. Wherefore then serveth the law?THE last use of the law being now to be contemplated, we shall set before you the law as a rule to govern us, when we have embraced the new covenant. And it is with peculiar pleasure that I enter upon this subject, because there exists at this day, precisely as there did in the apostolic age, a jealousy upon the subject of good works, and a fear lest the free salvation of the Gospel should... read more
