Sermon Outline:
Galatians 3:10–14 (NKJV)
10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
11But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”
12Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
13Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
14that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
I The curse of the law
II Redemption in Christ
III The gift of the Spirit
Christ abolished the law as a means of justification not by
destroying it but by fulfilling it.
John Blanchard
The law sends us to the gospel for our justification;
the gospel sends us to the law to frame our way of life …
Christ has freed us from the manner of our obedience,
but not from the matter of our obedience.
Samuel Bolton
