Galatians 3 Pt.2

Jan 18, 2026    Micah Heist

What does it truly mean to be called a child of God? In this powerful exploration of Galatians 3:15-29, we discover that being a son or daughter of God is the highest rank we could ever hold—higher than any earthly title or achievement. Paul masterfully dismantles the false teaching that our salvation depends on following religious laws or performing good works. Instead, he reveals that God made an unbreakable promise to Abraham and his seed—ultimately fulfilled in Christ—that came 430 years before the law was ever given. This means the law cannot replace or nullify God's promise. The inheritance we receive isn't earned through our efforts; it's freely given through faith in Jesus. The law served as a tutor, showing us God's character while simultaneously proving we could never meet its standards on our own. But now that faith has come, we're no longer under that tutor. We've been clothed in Christ through baptism, washed clean and covered by His righteousness. Regardless of our ethnicity, social status, or gender, we are all one in Christ Jesus—co-heirs of the promise. This liberating truth frees us from the exhausting burden of trying to earn God's favor and invites us into the joy of simply believing and receiving what He has already promised us.
