Ep 66 Decoding Galatians 4:8-5:1: Children of Flesh and Promise
Description
Join us and our teacher Pastor Ryan Brown as we continue our journey through Galatians. This week we are finishing off chapter 4 and heading in to chapter 5.
Rejecting legalism and promoting unity within the church are key messages in Galatians. Tradition and additional laws should never become a “requirement” for Salvation. Jesus and Paul taught that anyone leading us back into the slavery of sin or the law should be cut off from the church. The importance of unity in the body of Christ cannot be overstated and the truth that it is better to limp in freedom than live whole but in slavery.
Living in freedom is complex and challenging, but the rewards are immeasurable. Breaking away from our "lowercase gods" and the chains of sin requires deliberate continuous action and courage. Paul's frustration with those who turn away from God and back towards the things that enslaved them before is a reminder of the importance of maintaining an intimate relationship with God.
Finally, we'll explore the importance of true friendship and the concept of loving correction, drawing parallels to Paul's letter to the Galatians. By comparing the stories of Sarah, Ishmael, and Isaac, we'll explore the implications of inheritance and the significance of the child of the Promise.
