Loving the Scriptures

At the beginning of Galatians 4, Paul uses the illustration of adoption to highlight the reality of our relationship with God through Christ. We will see how we have been redeemed from under slavery to the elementary principles of the world, and also see how the Roman cultural understanding of adoption speaks wonderfully to the incredible privilege of adoption we now have in Christ.

God is a God who is faithful in keeping His promises. Because of this, we can know that the law can do nothing to cancel or replace God's promise previously made to Abraham. In this episode we examine how Paul uses the concept of God's covenent promise to teach his Galatian audience how superior that promise is compared to any reliance on the law for salvation.

In this episode we talk about what it means for Christ to have become a curse for us, and what that means when it comes to the distinction between law and faith.

In this episode we take a closer look at Romans 7 and 8, where we are told the difference between the old way of the written code and the new way of the Spirit. This episode is kind of lenghty, so you may want to take it in chunks.

In this episode, we lay the foundation of our examination of Paul's words in Romans 7 by doing a summary overview of chapters 1-6 of the book. In the course of our discussion, we will talk about the inability of the law to save, and the biblical reality of being released from slavery to sin since we have died to it.

In this episode we talk about the curse that Paul mentions regarding those who rely on works of the law for salvation. What are the demands of obedience to the law that makes works salvation an impossibility, and the curse a guarantee?

The Apostle Paul was not shy to confront Peter when he saw that he was living contrary to what the gospel was all about (Galatians 2). Now in Galatians 3, Paul is not shy to call the Galatian Christians foolish. In this episode we talk about why Paul was justified in doing so, and how he incorporates Abraham in his case for faith over works.

In the closing section of Galatians 2, we read of Paul's confrontation with Peter over his conduct toward the Gentiles in Antioch. What did Peter do, why was it wrong, and what sort of negative message does it send regarding the gospel? We answer these questions in this episode.
