Q

What is the promise vs law in Gal

A

Promise Law
Spirit by believing // Spirit by works of law
Faith –children of Abraham // Rely on law are under a curse
Justified by faith // Not justified by the law
Gospel through Abraham // Law not based on faith
Rely on faith are blessed // Law came later (430 yrs.)
Christ redeems from curse of the law Law does not cancel the promise (covenant) //
Christ’s work bring Abraham’s blessing to the Gentiles, which results in receiving the promise of the Spirit // Law added to deal with sin (gift of grace, including sacrifices) till Christ came
Promise through “seed” not seeds // Law given through mediator, but God is one
Adoption (4:5-7) // Law not opposed to God’s promise
Children of promise (5:28) // A guardian until…(4:4)
