Galatians 3:23-29 Five Heresies CLICK TITLE FOR AUDIO
Paul reveals the truth of justification by faith and the Fact that one Christ came; we could be justified by faith and get out from under the schoolmaster which was the law. But the result of his revelation has led some preachers and teachers into heresies who have either changed up these verses or misinterpreted them. Here is the rundown:
- By faith under law (v. 23)
- II Cor 3:14-18
- Certainly had faith in Old Testament (Heb 11) but not like we do in Christ
- No way faith in Christ before Calvary
- Peter and other disciples didn’t even believe it
- Law is a Schoolmaster (v. 24)
- Lead to Christ
