Law and Gospel (741)
  1. Sorry, racism, ethnic clashes, cultural differences, are nothing new to the world or the church. Listen to these fools talk about Galatians, racism, and Christianity. Also, a little Smalcald Articles on the Gospel!
  2. So, look . . . if you want to rely upon works of the Law to lay claim to the title "child of God," you can't. To be under the Law is to be a slave, and slaves are not sons.
  3. Before you object that what we need is change - not salvation - let me remind you that our shouts for change are evidence of our need for a savior.
  4. When the old Adam hears a command, he hears a prescription. Like a coach drawing up a play so you can win the game.
  5. The gospel does not proclaim the results of our practical reasoning about things we experience, but the horror of God crucified for our sins and at our hands.
  6. 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.

  8. Christ is joy and sweetness to a broken heart. Christ is a lover of poor sinners, and such a lover that He gave Himself for us.
  9. Paul has a full head of steam and runs into the ground the notion that we receive the Spirit by works instead of by grace. Instead, we are of Abraham, the man of Christ.
  10. Apostle fight, round one . . . GO! Paul puts the smackdown on Peter in a in a no-holds-barred fight for the gospel, because there's too much at stake.
  11. Cliché preaching may be symptomatic of shallow, consumerist culture, perpetuating a problem rather than the solution.
  12. The point is that the whole lot was wicked. And so were the Galatian Christians. And so are we.
