Previous Episode: Galatians 5:1-6 – Freedom and Justification in Christ
In the previous section (verses 1-6), we discussed the first three negative consequences of returning to the law. In this section, we will see the remaining three negative consequences.
In this section, we see how turning to the law does two things: (1) it hinders the progress of believers (vv. 7-10), and (2) it removes the offense or stumbling block of the Cross.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Returning to the bondage of law hinders spiritual growth and development. It deters us from running the race well and obeying the truth.Be aware of those who try to make you change direction and cause you to detour your course. Run the race that God has faithfully called you to run.Just like baking with yeast and proving takes time, sin left alone can grow and permeate the whole person. Reflect on areas of your life where sin may be affecting you.The Cross is a “stumbling block” or gives “offense” because it proclaims God’s unmerited grace (2:21), leaving no place for people’s good works.For more information about this show, includes additional notes and details, please visit the show page here or visit our home page at SeekingourGod.com
