[837.56 --> 838.46] and do whatever |
[838.46 --> 838.96] we want |
[838.96 --> 839.64] because we are |
[839.64 --> 840.10] quote unquote |
[840.10 --> 840.58] free. |
[841.16 --> 842.06] And that's the message |
[842.06 --> 843.40] to Galatian believers here. |
[843.94 --> 844.64] That is what Paul |
[844.64 --> 845.46] is trying to say |
[845.46 --> 846.10] when he says |
[846.10 --> 846.84] in verse 18, |
[847.28 --> 848.06] if you are led |
[848.06 --> 848.98] by the Spirit, |
[849.72 --> 850.40] you are not |
[850.40 --> 851.24] under the law, |
[851.44 --> 851.88] he says. |
[852.62 --> 853.56] And you might wonder, |
[854.08 --> 855.38] why does the law |
[855.38 --> 855.96] come up here |
[855.96 --> 856.56] all of a sudden? |
[856.82 --> 857.56] Why does Paul |
[857.56 --> 858.36] mention the law? |
[859.70 --> 860.44] And if you can maybe |
[860.44 --> 861.30] remember even a little |
[861.30 --> 861.96] further back, |
[862.02 --> 862.40] at the beginning |
[862.40 --> 862.82] of the year, |
[862.90 --> 863.62] we started with |
[863.62 --> 864.54] a series on |
[864.54 --> 865.42] the book of Galatians. |
[866.04 --> 867.06] And part of that |
[867.06 --> 868.44] was the original context, |
[868.44 --> 869.36] the original audience |
[869.36 --> 869.96] I should say, |
[870.28 --> 871.16] is that there were |
[871.16 --> 872.46] believers who thought |
[872.46 --> 873.00] they could do |
[873.00 --> 873.78] whatever they wanted |
[873.78 --> 874.84] because they were |
[874.84 --> 875.96] free in Christ. |
[876.76 --> 877.58] And then on the |
[877.58 --> 878.36] other side of it, |
[878.46 --> 879.80] you had other |
[879.80 --> 880.50] quote unquote |
[880.50 --> 881.04] Christians, |
[881.50 --> 882.22] Judaizers, |
[882.60 --> 883.26] agitators, |
[883.78 --> 885.18] that twisted the |
[885.18 --> 885.88] gospel and said |
[885.88 --> 886.66] that living out |
[886.66 --> 887.62] their faith in Jesus |
[887.62 --> 889.64] meant to follow |
[889.64 --> 890.70] specific Jewish |
[890.70 --> 891.58] ethnic laws. |
[892.16 --> 892.56] And so they |
[892.56 --> 893.44] equated the gospel |
[893.44 --> 894.74] with Jesus plus |
[894.74 --> 895.70] something else. |
[896.84 --> 897.82] And what Paul |
[897.82 --> 898.94] is saying in response |
[898.94 --> 899.82] to these believers |
[899.82 --> 900.80] in Galatia |
[900.80 --> 902.50] is that true life, |
[903.24 --> 904.44] truly living out |
[904.44 --> 905.34] our faith as |
[905.34 --> 905.82] Christians, |
[906.18 --> 907.50] and true freedom, |
[907.96 --> 908.82] what that is, |
[908.88 --> 910.52] is it's spirit-led. |
[911.22 --> 912.16] It is a life |
[912.16 --> 912.92] that is led |
[912.92 --> 913.80] by the Spirit. |
[914.10 --> 915.20] The Holy Spirit |
[915.20 --> 916.38] and Holy Spirit |
[916.38 --> 917.56] alone frees us |
[917.56 --> 918.68] and helps shape |
[918.68 --> 919.44] and form us |
[919.44 --> 920.76] to stand against |
[920.76 --> 921.40] sin. |
[922.02 --> 922.96] So that's one aspect. |
[923.28 --> 924.60] And also produces |
[924.60 --> 925.18] fruit, |
[925.18 --> 926.66] Christ-like holiness |
[926.66 --> 927.62] that reflects |
[927.62 --> 928.86] God's own loving |
[928.86 --> 929.68] goodness for the |
[929.68 --> 929.98] world. |
[930.50 --> 931.48] And against this |
[931.48 --> 931.96] fruit, |
[932.60 --> 933.14] God's loving |
[933.14 --> 933.60] goodness, |
[933.90 --> 934.58] against that |
[934.58 --> 935.00] fruit, |
[935.50 --> 936.42] there is no law. |
[936.84 --> 937.56] That's what Paul |
[937.56 --> 938.00] is saying. |
[938.80 --> 939.60] And along these |
[939.60 --> 940.36] same lines, |
[940.52 --> 940.96] the famous |
[940.96 --> 941.82] reformer Martin |
