PROMISE! Galatians 3:10-18 – Part 2

Introduction
Adam and Eve believed Satan’s lies and ate of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. They immediately knew shame and guilt. They hid from God and tried to cover their own nakedness with fig leaves. But God sacrificed animals and made coverings for them – all of this looking forward to the sacrifice of Jesus, The Christ on the Cross of Calvary. Mankind always tries to do some kind of ‘work’ to take care of his own sin problem, but it was always, and it always is, FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE. Paul is teaching wonderful things about this glorious truth in Galatians 3.

* The Curse (OT Quote – Dt. 27:26) – Gal. 3:10
* The Constant (OT Quote – Hab. 2:4) – Gal. 3:11
* The Continuing Necessity (OT Quote – Lev. 18:5) – Gal. 3:12
* The Cursed (OT Quote – Dt. 21:23) – Gal. 3:13-14
- The ‘curse’ is really, really bad! The worst of the worst – as evidenced by hanging their dead body on a tree. Christ became the curse for us! Christ Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the Law! “Redeemed” is to be purchased out of the slave market of sin and set free by our Lord Jesus, The Christ

* The Christ (OT Quote – Gen. 22:18) – Gal. 3:15-16
- “Seed” is a ‘singular’ word but can refer to ‘many’ or to ‘one.’ Paul ‘interprets’ Gen. 22:18 and declares that it is referring to Christ!

* The Conclusion – Overwhelming Truth – Gal 3:17-18
- It is either Law or Promise – one or the other - but it is NOT BOTH.

Timeless Truth!
From the fall into sin by Adam and Eve, God has been providing a covering for man’s sin. For 1000’s of years, animals were sacrificed on altars to picture the ultimate sacrifice that was going to one day happen when Jesus, The Christ would be the Lamb of God who would be crucified for the sins of the world. And God made a promise to Abraham that it would be Abraham’s Seed – who would provide that glorious blessing to the whole world. Jesus was the Lamb of God who provided THE ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE to take away the sin of mankind. Hallelu-Jah WHAT A SAVIOR!

Living Lesson
Many of us have grown up in churches or under the teaching that there is some kind of work that we can perform that will save us. Often it is infant baptism or church attendance or giving money to the church that is the ‘good work’ that is supposed to save us. But that is all false teaching. There is only one way to have eternal life. It is the gift God gives to anyone who BELIEVES in His Son, Jesus, The Christ. As Acts 4:12 says: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven, given among men whereby we must be saved.”Live Stream Time: approximately 11:05 am Sunday mornings - Thank you for joining us!
