The Galatians Battle

I read the whole of Galatians yesterday with Dale. Super-encouraging time. One of the things that stood out to me while we were reading were the number of contrasts in the book. It would be easy to have a series on Galatians contrasting the different ideas. Here’s a few (in no particular order) that I think are present:

  • Grace vs Works
  • Jesus vs Religion
  • Old Covenant vs New Covenant
  • Slavery vs Freedom
  • Law vs Liberty
  • Covenant Theology vs New Covenant Theology
  • Word of Man vs Word of God
  • Mosaic Covenant vs Abrahamic Covenant
  • Promise vs Law
  • Fruit of the Spirit vs Desires of the Sinful Nature
  • Hagar vs Sarah
  • Isaac vs Ishmael
  • Circumcision vs New Creation
  • Faith vs Law
  • True Gospel vs No Gospel
  • Mount Sinai vs Jerusalem from above
  • Boasting in the Cross vs Boasting in yourself

Good times. Dale can you think of any more?

Warm fuzzy to the first non-Central Coast resident who can name the two streets at this intersection…
