Sunday Service Notes
Galatians: Putting on Christ
The Purpose of the Law (Galatians 3:19–25)
The law was added because of the transgression, until the Seed should come (Galatians 3:19).
Law exposes the sin nature (Romans 7:7–8).
Our sin nature uses the law to manipulate us to do wrong (Romans 7:11).
Law give the sin nature strength (1 Corinthians 15:56).
The law does not justify a man (Romans 3:28).
The Law was appointed through messengers by the hand of a mediator (Galatians 3:19).
A mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is One (Galatians 3:20).
Christ is the mediator of a better covenant (Hebrews 8:6).
By means of His death, he redeemed those under the first covenant (Hebrews 9:15).
The law is not against the promise of God (Galatians 3:21–22).
If the law could give life, then righteousness would be through law (Galatians 3:21).
The law shows all are under sin (Galatians 3:22).
In order that the promise out from faith in Jesus Christ should be given to all those who believe (Galatians 3:22).
Before faith came, the law kept Israel under guard (Galatians 3:23).
The law was a child-trainer to bring them to faith in Christ (Galatians 3:24).
After faith came, the child-trainer is no longer needed (Galatians 3:25).
We Are Sons (Galatians 3:26)
We are sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26).
Sonship relates to a position, not the sex of a person.
In Christ, we are marked off to the placement of sons (Ephesians 1:5).
Sons are expected to act in a mature manner (Hebrews 5:12–14).
We do not look at the position of a son through the eyes of our culture, but through the culture and time Scripture was written in.
While a child is an inarticulate babbler, the child is treated equally as the slaves (Galatians 4:1-2).
Sons are not under law—since faith in Christ has come, there is no longer a need for a child-trainer (Galatians 3:25).
We did not receive a spirit of bondage (Romans 8:15).
Putting on Christ as an Outer Garment (Galatians 3:27)
Those who are immersed into the Christ (Galatians 3:27).
The Christ is the new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 1:22–23).
The Holy Spirit immersed us into Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12–13).
This immersion imputes Christ’s death and resurrection to us (Romans 6:4–5).
Since I have died with Christ, I am no longer bound to the sin nature (Romans 6:6).
Since I am raised with Christ, I can walk in newness of life.
We have a renewed mind in Christ that understandings Spiritual things (Romans 12:2).
The unsaved do not understand Spiritual things (1 Corinthians 2:14).
We have a quality of the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).
Our frame of mind has changed (Colossians 3:1–3).
The new man was created according to God in righteousness and piety of the truth (Ephesians 4:24).
Putting on Christ–aligning my conduct with who I am
Put off lying, speaking truth to others (Ephesians 4:25).
Not sinning in wrath (Ephesians 4:26).
Wrath gives place to the devil (Ephesians 4:27).
The wrath of man does not work out the righteousness of God (James 1:20).
Not stealing, but laboring to be able to give to others in need (Ephesians 4:28).
Not letting rotten words come out of my mouth (Ephesians 4:29).
Learning to speak with grace (Colossians 4:6).
Not using the philosophy of men (Colossians 2:8).
Not grieving the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30).
Seeking after the desirous will of God over my own.
Not suppressing the desire for doing righteous.
Overcoming the desires to do wrong.
Laying aside bitterness, wrath, inner burning anger, load shouting, blasphemy, and doing wrong (Ephesians 4:31).
Bitterness is from Satan and intended to manipulate the mind because you feel you are not getting what you deserve.
Inner burning anger, clamor, blasphemy come from the sin nature (Galatians 5:19–21).
As the elect of God, clothing ourselves with Christ (Colossians 3:12).
Putting on tender compassion (Colossians 3:12).
Expressing kindness–making others feel at ease(Colossians 3:12).
Having a proper frame of mind–being humble (Colossians 3:12).
Maintaining an objectivity of mind–living out who I am in Christ (Colossians 3:12).
Withholding my angers against unreasonable people (Colossians 3:12).
Bearing with other saints (Colossians 3:13).
Being gracious to ourselves and other saints (Colossians 3:13).
Maintaining the bond of love–seeking to do what is best for another (Colossians 3:14).
Letting the peace of God umpire in our hearts (Colossians 3:15).
Join Us in person at 811 W. Main Street in Monroe WA 98272.
If you are unable to join in person, we have a live broadcast at 11:00 AM for our main service.
And let us consider one another in stirring up love and proper works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves, just as is the habit of some, but encouraging, and so much more as we see the day approaching (Hebrews chapter 10 verses 24 and 25).
In a world that often pulls us toward isolation, coming together face-to-face provides encouragement, clarity, and spiritual strength. At Word of Grace Studies, we gather because we value the opportunity to build up one another in truth, to stir up love and proper works, and to grow together in the faith. Whether you can come and fellowship with us or at a local assembly in your area, do not forsake the assembling of the saints, your presence matters—for your benefit and for the encouragement of others.
You’re always welcome to join us and experience the encouragement and connection that come from gathering together.
