Faith vs Works. Purpose of the Law. Unity in Christ.
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written, Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." Galatians 3:13
In this episode of "The New Testament in a Year," we dive into Galatians Chapter 3, focusing on Paul's compelling argument against the Galatians' confusion of law and faith. This chapter is pivotal in understanding the core of Christian faith—justification by faith in Christ alone, rather than by adhering to the law. Through detailed exploration, the episode highlights key themes such as the contrast between faith and works of the law, the law's purpose as a guide leading to Christ, and the unifying power of belief in Christ that transcends cultural and societal divisions. It clarifies these theological concepts, making them relatable and applicable to daily life, while also encouraging listeners, especially those new to the Bible, to discover the richness of living a faith-based life.
