Galatians 3:15-29
What was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator. A mediator, does not represent just one party; but God is one.
The Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
The law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now the faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.
這樣說來,律法是為什麼有的呢?原是為過犯添上的,等候那蒙應許的子孫來到,並且是藉天使經中保之手設立的. 但中保本不是為一面作的;神卻是一位。
但聖經把眾人都圈在罪裡,使所應許的福因信耶穌基督,歸給那信的人。但這因信得救的理既然來到,我們從此就不在師傅的手下了。
律法是我們訓蒙的師傅,引我們到基督那裡,使我們因信稱義。但這因信得救的理既然來到,我們從此就不在師傅的手下了。
God accepted Abraham centuries before the law was given through Moses. So how can the law win people free pardon?
Why?
The law was like a child-minder t(he slave who escorts and protects a child, sometimes helping with the homework!) until the promise made to Abraham was fulfilled in the coming of Christ.
Now, by faith in him, we are all God's children - regardless of race or status or sex.
How?
By faith in him, we are all God's children. We are free under Christ.
