IT’S TIME TO GROW UP!
In chapter 4, Paul explains the glorious reality of what it means to be God’s children and how awful it would be to forfeit such a privilege.
I believe the church of today much like the Galations are not living in reality they are the children of God and they are living as slaves and not enjoying those privileges.
he warns his readers not to listen to the false teachers seducing them away from Christ and back into slavery to the law rather than freedom in Christ.
One of the tragedies of legalism is that it gives the appearance of spiritual maturity when, in reality, it leads the believer back into a “second childhood” of Christian experience.
THe most immature christians I have ever met are from legalistic mindset.
They have a problem with pride, as if the way you dress makes you spiritual you can dress up a corpse but it does not make it spiritual.
The bible you set on your coffee table doesn't make you better.
I believe in the authority of the scripture I showed someone yesterday the superiority of the kjv
But that doesn't make me better
Doctrine does not make me better.
I am not going to get to heaven and the Lord say John and charles wesley you are out and cummings is in because he is right doctrinally and you are off.
There are people that read modern bibles that are better christians than I am.
Some of them can't even read.
They have a problem with people comparing themselves among themselves, it is not wise.
They can point to the problem but they are not much for a solution
A problem without a solution is a complaint.
Listen I get fired up about this.
Stop looking down your knows at your brothers and sisters in christ and love them and be an example to them serve them and build credibility with them so your words and influence mean something.
No one is going to be inspired by a judgmental legalist.
Inspire people.
Love them.
Stop trying to put yourself on a throne.
Remember you have to stand before God.
How do you think that will go for you?
Respect their christian liberty.
Look at where they are going not at were they are.
The Galatian Christians, like most believers, wanted to grow and go forward for Christ; but they were going about it in the wrong way.
It is the same of Christians today who get involved in various legalistic movements, hoping to become better Christians.
Their motives may be right, but their methods are wrong.
They thought the Law would make them better Christians.
Their old nature felt an attraction for the Law because the Law enabled them to do things and measure external results.
Itis a lot easier to measure the length of your hair than to examine your heart.
Legalism leads to a plateau why do you go back to legalistic people and they have not grown in the last 400 years?
As they measured themselves and their achievements, they felt a sense of accomplishment, and, no doubt, a little bit of pride.
They thought they were going forward when actually they were regressing.
Such people are in a situation similar to the airplane passengers who heard their pilot announce: “Our navigator has lost our position, folks, and we have been flying rather aimlessly for over an hour.
That’s the bad news.
But the good news is that we are making very good time.”
Paul takes three approaches in this section as he seeks to convince the Galatians that they do not need legalism in order to live the Christian life.
They have all they need in Jesus Christ.
He Explains Their Position ()
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
