Segment 28: The Son Shall Set Us Free
Presenter: Thomas L. Hoyt, Jr.
Galatians addresses two major problems: the nature and authenticity
of Paul’s apostleship and the relationship of Christian freedom to the
Mosaic law. On the question of the terms on which Gentiles could be
admitted to the church, Paul argues that all persons who have faith are
in fact blessed as they share Abraham’s faith based on God’s
promises. The Law was a kind of guardian until persons were mature
enough to receive the faith in Christ. The Galatians were now free to live
by the guidance of the Spirit. But freedom is not license. Whoever
lives by the Spirit does what the Law intended.
