“Galatians 3 presents a clear confrontation of legalism and a call back to the gospel of grace. The text exposes the folly of thinking that favor with God grows from human effort. Faith begins the Christian life, and faith alone sustains it. The law functions as a mirror and a tutor, exposing sin and guarding God’s people until the promised Seed appears, but the law cannot justify or impart life. Christ bore the curse of the law in order to redeem believers and make the blessing given to Abraham available to all who trust, Jew and Gentile alike.”
