Spirit vs. Flesh – Galatians 3:1-14

Spirit vs. Flesh – Galatians 3:1-14

Paul continues to show the Galatians the folly in turning away from the Gospel, by showing them three things they lose when they turn from seeking their justification by faith in Christ to seeking it through their own works: 1) Faith, not works, brought the Spirit of God to them; 2) Faith, not works, brought them into the family of God; 3) Faith, not works, brings the blessing of God. The law leaves us in the weakness of our own flesh; the law puts us outside of the family of Abraham, and the law leaves us under the curse of God. Why, then, would anyone want to turn away from the grace of Christ in the gospel, and turn back to the law and it’s inevitable curse?
