SONS OF GOD
What a glorious statement of faith and trust we have in this text.
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:26
1. Ramifications of Justification
Some of these are highlighted in Galatians:-
a) Christ gave Himself for our sins (Galatians 1:4a).
b) We are delivered from this present evil age (Galatians 1:4b).
c) Christ lives in us (Galatians 2:20).
d) We have received the Holy Spirit who works in us (Galatians 3:3, 5).
e) Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13).
f) The blessings of Abraham are given to those who are justified (Galatians 3:14).
2. “Sons of God”
a) This is a huge point that Paul wanted to highlight.
b) This phrase was used to describe the angels of God (Job 1:6).
c) Israel was described as “sons” and “daughters” (Isaiah 43:6).
d) This phrase “sons of God” was now used to describe ALL who are justified by Christ.
3. “Through faith in Christ Jesus”
a) Not through ethnic lineage (The physical descendants of Abraham).
b) Not through religious observance (Judaism).
c) Faith in Jesus Christ was the means of obtaining justification.
