“The Law, the Promise, and the Children of Freedom: A Study of Galatians 3:15-4:31”

Faith, Sonship, and the Law Discussed - TIME 0:00

Jared led a Bible study session, focusing on the Galatians chapters 3 and 4. He emphasized the importance of faith in achieving justification, contrasting it with the law. He also discussed the concept of sonship, explaining that it is achieved through faith and baptism and results from being a child of God through Christ and the Spirit. Jared also touched on the dangers of the law and the concept of slavery versus sonship. He ended the session by asking for prayers and expressing his pleasure in sharing God's word.

Covenant, Law, and the Promise to Abraham - TIME 2:29

Jared discussed the relationship between the law and the covenant made to Abraham. He emphasized that the covenant, confirmed before God and Christ, cannot be altered or annulled by the law that came later. He also highlighted that the law was not intended to be a savior but a tutor to lead people to Christ through faith. Jared pointed out that the Jews were blinded by the multitude of details surrounding the law, failing to see their sonship was founded on God's promise to Abraham. He concluded by stating that the law was given to convict Israel of transgressions and to lead her to Christ.

Christ as Mediator and Faith - TIME 8:34

Jared discussed the role of Christ as the mediator between God and man, emphasizing that Christ had to be both God and man. He also touched on the concept of faith, stating that Old Testament people could not participate in Christ's faith as it had not yet come. Jared further connected saving faith with baptism, suggesting baptism is an intimate act of putting on Christ. He also mentioned that verse 27 of a particular passage is an ancient hymn, possibly sung at Christian baptism.

Equality in Christ and Adoption - TIME 12:19

Jared discussed the concept of equality in Christ, emphasizing that all people share one human nature and should be valued based on their shared identity in Christ rather than their ethnicity, social status, or gender. He referenced Galatians 3:28, which states that there is neither Jew nor Greek, enslaved person nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Jared also discussed the concept of adoption as sons of God, stating that this is an ongoing process of growth and transformation facilitated by the Holy Spirit. He criticized the Judaizers for making their holy day calendar an end in itself rather than seeing it as a means to Christ and His kingdom. Finally, Jared reflected on his physical infirmity and how it did not deter him from preaching the gospel.

Abraham's Sons and Heavenly Jerusalem - TIME 20:49-30:29

Jared discussed the symbolism of Abraham's two sons in the context of the Old Testament and its relation to the Church. He explained that Hagar and Mount Sinai symbolize earthly Jerusalem and the Jews under the law, while Sarah represents the heavenly Jerusalem, the Church. He also emphasized the importance of spiritual growth and deification for his people, even if they do not want the truth. Jared concluded by stating that sonship is conferred by divine promise, not human deeds and that the purpose of sonship is to become like God and enter heaven. He ended the session by expressing his love for the attendees and encouraging them to subscribe to his channel.

In Christ, love ❤️ Jared W Campbell
