[1322.66 --> 1324.20] if it really was in vain? |
[1325.06 --> 1326.46] Does God give you His Spirit |
[1326.46 --> 1329.22] and work miracles among you by observing the law |
[1329.22 --> 1331.70] or by your believing what you heard? |
[1331.70 --> 1334.56] So also Abraham believed God |
[1334.56 --> 1336.76] and it was credited to him as righteousness. |
[1337.94 --> 1340.34] Understand then that those who have faith |
[1340.34 --> 1341.86] are children of Abraham. |
[1342.56 --> 1345.24] Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles |
[1345.24 --> 1349.06] by faith and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham. |
[1349.06 --> 1351.56] All nations will be blessed through you. |
[1352.22 --> 1355.68] So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, |
[1356.06 --> 1357.04] the man of faith. |
[1357.82 --> 1360.70] All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, |
[1361.10 --> 1361.84] for it is written, |
[1362.50 --> 1365.50] cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written |
[1365.50 --> 1366.54] in the book of the law. |
[1366.54 --> 1370.06] Clearly no one is justified before God by the law |
[1370.06 --> 1372.42] because the righteous will live by faith. |
[1372.78 --> 1374.86] The law is not based on faith. |
[1375.34 --> 1377.06] On the contrary, it says, |
[1377.18 --> 1379.34] whoever does these things will live by them. |
[1380.34 --> 1382.52] Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law |
[1382.52 --> 1384.62] by becoming a curse for us. |
[1385.04 --> 1385.72] For it is written, |
[1386.36 --> 1388.38] cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole. |
[1389.18 --> 1392.26] He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham |
[1392.26 --> 1395.24] might come to the Gentiles through Jesus Christ |
[1395.24 --> 1399.00] so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. |
[1399.94 --> 1401.10] And now to verse 26. |
[1402.10 --> 1403.36] So in Christ Jesus, |
[1403.50 --> 1405.34] you are all children of God through faith. |
[1405.82 --> 1408.02] For all of you who are baptized into Christ |
[1408.02 --> 1409.92] have clothed yourselves with Christ. |
[1410.64 --> 1412.36] There is neither Jew nor Gentile, |
[1412.90 --> 1414.06] neither slave nor free, |
[1414.64 --> 1415.58] neither male nor female, |
[1415.58 --> 1418.00] for you are all one in Christ Jesus. |
[1418.40 --> 1419.72] If you belong to Christ, |
[1420.38 --> 1421.90] then you are Abraham's seed. |
[1422.26 --> 1424.60] And heirs according to the promise. |
[1429.44 --> 1432.14] When I was just getting to know my wife, Brittany, |
[1432.54 --> 1433.24] in university, |
[1433.76 --> 1435.88] she invited me over to meet her family. |
[1436.18 --> 1438.20] And in one of those first meetings with the family, |
[1438.32 --> 1439.86] they were having a conversation together. |
[1439.98 --> 1441.26] You know, I'm on best behavior. |
[1442.00 --> 1443.24] And her brother, Ben, |
[1443.80 --> 1444.72] shared this phrase. |
[1444.78 --> 1446.16] He said in the course of conversation, |
[1446.60 --> 1447.76] he said, wait, wait, wait. |
[1448.36 --> 1449.84] Who is Moscow? |
[1449.84 --> 1453.56] And then all the Gohins broke out into laughter. |
[1454.14 --> 1458.06] And I stood there having no idea why that was funny. |
[1458.48 --> 1460.28] And I finally had the guts to say to Brittany, |
[1460.82 --> 1462.54] what did Ben just say? |
[1462.62 --> 1463.84] And why are you all laughing? |
[1464.48 --> 1465.58] And then she's like, oh, right. |
[1465.64 --> 1466.64] You don't know the backstory. |
[1466.64 --> 1470.00] And she explained how she had a classmate in university |
[1470.00 --> 1471.46] who was studying for an exam. |
[1471.90 --> 1473.22] And in that studying for the exam, |
[1473.32 --> 1476.04] she thought Moscow was a person and not a place. |
[1476.50 --> 1477.56] And ever since that point, |
[1477.62 --> 1479.50] it's become a family joke in the Gohin family |
[1479.50 --> 1480.94] when they say, who is Moscow? |
[1481.48 --> 1483.32] And then it finally made sense to me. |
[1484.26 --> 1485.78] But perhaps you've had your own experience |
[1485.78 --> 1486.82] of the who is Moscow, |
[1486.94 --> 1488.44] where you enter into a conversation, |
[1488.92 --> 1490.50] you're listening, trying to piece together, |
[1490.50 --> 1492.24] and it makes absolutely no sense |
[1492.24 --> 1493.92] because you don't know the backstory. |
[1495.22 --> 1496.92] If you've experienced that, |
[1497.58 --> 1499.88] you can understand what I think it might feel like |
[1499.88 --> 1501.02] to read Galatians 3. |
[1501.96 --> 1504.90] Galatians 3 is a complicated passage. |
[1505.26 --> 1506.78] In fact, it might very well be, |
[1507.08 --> 1507.86] according to some writers, |
[1508.12 --> 1510.48] the most complex piece of writing from Paul. |
[1510.60 --> 1512.10] So if you're a little bit confused |
[1512.10 --> 1513.94] by what we just read, it's okay. |
[1514.74 --> 1516.00] But also, I would say, |
[1516.10 --> 1517.90] Galatians 3 doesn't make any sense |
[1517.90 --> 1519.90] until you know the backstory. |
[1520.90 --> 1522.46] Paul assumes so much |
[1522.46 --> 1523.62] when he writes this letter |
[1523.62 --> 1525.52] of Old Testament story, |
[1525.94 --> 1528.02] of Old Testament people, right? |
[1528.36 --> 1530.30] And so Paul is just bringing these things |
[1530.30 --> 1530.96] into the foreground, |
[1531.14 --> 1532.16] and if we don't know the backstory, |
[1532.32 --> 1533.16] we're not going to understand. |
[1533.96 --> 1536.64] For example, he talks about blessings and curses. |
[1536.74 --> 1538.00] These are Old Testament things |
[1538.00 --> 1538.98] related to the law. |
[1539.32 --> 1542.74] He mentions a time the person of Abraham |
[1542.74 --> 1545.26] because Abraham is a big deal |
[1545.26 --> 1546.38] in the Old Testament story. |
[1546.50 --> 1547.74] And what we want to do this morning |
