Galatians 3:19 - 4:7

GalatiansSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses Galatians 3:19 - 4:7 and the concept of faith in the Christian faith. Gregg makes the point that faith, not obedience to the law, is what saves people. He also emphasizes that the law was added because of transgressions until the Messiah, or Christ, came. Abraham, despite his imperfections, was justified by faith, and the covenant God made with him was fulfilled in Christ, not in the nation of Israel. Gregg stresses that Christians are children of God by faith in Christ and that God sent his spirit to confirm their relationship with him.
