In this episode we explore 4:21-31. We start by looking into the incorrect assumptions we can make about law. We might think law is bunch of rules to keep us from being our authentic self. Or we might play off law vs grace. We can imagine that law sees our actions and not our intent whereas grace sees our intent and gives us a “get out of jail” free card. But as we saw in episode 11, law or the torah is both narrative and commands. Going back to the law means to go back to old covenant identity markers that mark out who are the people of God.

We see how Paul uses scriptural reasoning. We want to cultivate scriptural reasoning. A useful acronym that can help is T R U T H - T stands for text, R helps us remember that the narrative of the bible is redemptive. U helps us to Undo our thinking and the way we see things. T = Train whereby we want to train scripturally to encounter Jesus Christ and finally H = Holistic which reminds us that the bible is holistic.

In the next two weeks we will start series titled “Freedom in Christ” focusing on Galatians 5. Thank you for watching. Looking forward to seeing you again next week.
