Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion
- Read Galatians 3:19-29. What is the purpose of the Law? How do the illustrations Paul uses (prison warden, v 23, and guardian, v. 24) help us understand this purpose of the Law?
- How is the Law necessary and helpful for your understanding and appreciation of the Gospel? What happens if the Gospel is presented without reference to the Law?
- What is our new identity when we put our faith in Jesus Christ? What is the significance of this?
- What does it mean to “put on” Christ, or to be clothed in Christ? What difference would it make in your life to practice this “presence of Christ”?
- What barriers are broken down by Christ and the Gospel? How can we help maintain such unity?
Memory Verse of the Week: Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (ESV)
