We ought not to make the cross of Christ of none effect by adding the law to our Christian walk.

Paul gives the allegory of Hagar and Sarah as a comparison of bondage vs promise and grace.

Understanding our position before God is the most important thing apart from our soul's salvation.

Paul continues to point to the cross in which the Galatians now take offense.

As a believer, to return to the law is to depart from your service to God.

God equips sons with the knowledge and wisdom God intends us to have through His completed Word via the revelation of the mystery of Christ.

The law was not given to provide life or righteousness, but to reveal sin and show mankind’s need for a Saviour.

Those who seek righteousness and justification through the works of the law place themselves under a curse.

By the pattern of Abraham in Gen 15:6 we are counted righteous when we trust exclusively in what Christ has done for our eternal soul's salvation. We are justified by faith.

A believer ought to answer this question daily, "Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law? Or by the hearing of faith?"
