In Galatians 4 we were introduced to the bondage of error and the freedom of Grace and Paul’s bewilderment that some would rather go back to the bondage of trying to appease God when God was already satisfied with the solution to mankind’s sinfulness through the sacrifice of Christ.

The law was meant to reveal sin not meant to teach good – As if we needed to do good to appease God. Yet that’s what the Second Law the Pharisees promoted was all about

The Pharisees particularly taught a man-made version of law that they expected all Good Jewish people to follow – it was really Law Keeping 101 and tantamount to living in a struggle

Yet instead of bringing an abundant life it led to bondage and restrictions that no one was able to keep.

John 1:17 – For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
(John 1:17 NKJV)

Freedom and liberty is the message of Grace – Not freedom and liberty to sin but freedom to serve the Lord despite the sin that plagues us – Jesus set us free to serve the Lord without hindrance

Gal. 5:1 opens with: Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
(Galatians 5:1 NKJV)
