1. Dr. Paulson and Caleb talk about the ways people try and use God’s law to secure and confirm election. This conversation leads toward the distinction between the commands and the promises of God.
  2. Who is a true child of God? Who is a true child of the promise? Paul gives a surprising allegory that helps us understand just how easily we fall into the trap of selling ourselves back into spiritual slavery.
  3. Paul shows that the Law was never intended to save, but that salvation comes only through promise. The Law merely served as an instructor until the coming of the promised Christ.
