Galatians, Day 26

Galatians, Day 26

We are now approaching the end of Paul’s dense argument in Chapter 3, and in so doing he will return to his very first rhetorical question in this argument. Today we’ll compare to verses. Today take a closer look at Galatians 3:21-23 and compare it to Galatians 3:2-4.

Questions for reflection:

  1. How are these two passages related?
  2. What does Paul seem to mean by the terms “promise” and “life” and “righteousness” “your goal” in these passages? How are they similar?
  3. Why do you think Paul might have started with this question about how they “received the spirit” (v2-4) and then circled back to that argument again (21-23)? What makes this argument so effective?
