Galatians 3:21-Galatians 4:7 - The Purpose Of The Law Of Moses
21 Then the Law is contrary to God's Promises? Never! Had there been any law which had the power of producing life, righteousness would really have been due to law, 22 but Scripture has consigned all without exception to the custody of sin, in order that the promise due to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who have faith. 23 Before this faith came, we were confined by the Law and kept in custody, with the prospect of the faith that was to be revealed; 24 the Law thus held us as wards in discipline, till such time as Christ came, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But faith has come, and we are wards no longer; 26 you are all sons of God by your faith in Christ Jesus
27 (for all of you who had yourselves baptized into Christ have taken on the character of Christ). 28 There is no room for Jew or Greek, there is no room for slave or freeman, there is no room for male and female; you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 Now if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring; in virtue of the Promise, you are heirs.
1 What I mean is this. As long as an heir is under age, there is no difference between him and a servant, though he is lord of all the property; 2 he is under guardians and trustees till the time fixed by his father. 3 So with us. When we were under age, we lived under the thraldom of the Elemental spirits of the world; 4 but when the time had fully expired, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5 to ransom those who were under the Law, that we might get our sonship. 6 It is because you are sons that God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts crying 'Abba! Father!' 7 So you are servant no longer but son, and as son you are also heir, all owing to God.
