Today, we are continuing our sermon series in Galatians. The apostle Paul has been making a sustained argument that justification comes through faith in Jesus and not through keeping the law. Yet, the reality is that for thousands of years Jews and Gentiles who converted to Judaism were keeping the law. In addressing the Galatians, Paul anticipated a natural question they would ask: If the law can't justify or make people righteous, what is the purpose of the law? In the passage that we've come to today, the apostle Paul answers this important question. Since the question is still relevant today, let's posture our hearts to hear God's word concerning the purpose of the law.
