3:1 • Oh foolish and thoughtless Galatians! Who has placed a spell on you, that you should not have full confidence in the truth, when, before your eyes, Jesus Christ was depicted as having been crucified? 2 I wish to learn this from you – did you receive the Spirit out of works of law or out from hearing with faith? 3 You are so foolish! Having begun in Spirit, are you now accomplishing completion in flesh [by human ability and effort]? 4 Did you suffer, passing through so many things without reason or purpose? If indeed it was all without reason?

• 5 Listen, the One who continuously and lavishly supplies the Spirit to you, who continuously and actively energeoes power inside of and among you, is it out of works of law or out from hearing with faith? 6 In the same way, Abraham believed God and it was reckoned, counted, and credited to him into just approval [f] (Genesis 15:6]. 7 You know that those who are out from faith, these are sons of Abraham. • 8 More than that, the Scripture, having foreseen that God declares the ethnic families to be justly innocent out from faith, foretold the gospel to Abraham saying, “All the ethnic families will be blessed, [will have the good things of Christ spoken into them] inside of you” (Genesis 22:18) 9 So then, those out from faith are blessed [g], together with believing Abraham.

10 For all who are out of works of law are under curse. Indeed, it has been written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them” (Deuteronomy 27:26). • 11 And it is even more evident that inside of law no one is declared to be justly innocent in the presence of God because “those who are justly innocent live out from faith” (Habakkuk 2:4) 12 The law is not out of faith; rather “the one who does these things [human performance] will live inside of that doing” (Leviticus 18:5). [h]

• 13 Christ redeemed us (i) out of the curse of law, having become curse for us, for our sakes, for it is written, “Cursed is everyone hanging on a tree” (Deuteronomy 21:23). 14 This is so that the blessing [g] given to Abraham might become inside the ethnic families inside of Jesus Christ, that we might receive the PROMISE of Spirit into ourselves all the way through our faith.

• 15 Listen brothers and sisters, let me speak by human thought. Even with a covenant that has been ratified by men, made valid and signed, no one sets any part of it aside or adds anything to it. 16 You see, the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his sperm [j]. He does not say, and to many sperm, but of One, “And to your Sperm” (Genesis 12:3 & 7), who is Christ. 17 Yet I say even more than that; this covenant was confirmed, made valid and signed out from God, then, – 430 years later comes the law – that law does not annul or invalidate the original promise. 15 If indeed the inheritance is out of law, it is no longer out from promise, but God gave it to Abraham through promise.

• 19 Why then the law? It was set forth and arranged through angels in the hands of a mediator [Moses] on account of contrary actions, of over-stepping the boundaries, of deviation – UNTIL the Sperm to whom the promise was made should come. 20 Now, a mediator is not for one person, but God is One.

• 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? It cannot be! If any law ever given was able or had the power to bring forth life [k], then indeed, just approval and innocence would have emerged out of law. 22 The Scriptures then enclosed and imprisoned all under falling absolutely short of God [l] SO THAT the promise out from the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe and are persuaded. • 23 More than that, before faith came to us, we were held captive as prisoners, having been imprisoned under law, until the about-to-be unveiled faith. 24 So, the law has become our trainer into Christ so that we might be declared justly innocent out from faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are NO LONGER under a trainer.

• 26 For all of you are sons of God all the way through faith inside of Christ Jesus. • 27 Indeed, those who were utterly immersed into Christ, you have already put Christ upon yourselves [m]. 28 There is no Judean and no Greek; there is no slave and no free; there is no male and no female; INDEED, all of you are ONE inside of Christ Jesus. • 29 And even more than that, if you are of Christ, then you are Abraham’s SPERM (singular) and heirs according to Promise.

Gospel Comments	Notes
• Life: It is the Spirit that gives Life (see John 6:63). We receive the Spirit through faith because we are convinced of the Truth, for the Spirit causes us to see Christ crucified – our sins already gone, and this One who “loves me.” • Ruling Verse 5: The Spirit energeoing Life inside of us comes immediately out from Galatians 2:20. • Covenant: Any relationship with God begins with a full-on confidence and assertion that He is always telling us the Truth in the Gospel. • Speak Christ: The spellcaster teaches to argue over Scripture with the intellect; the Spirit writes all Word as Jesus upon our hearts (see 2 Corinthians 3:3). These are two opposing stories of self. “To be blessed” is to have the good words of Christ spoken into us that our story of self might be Christ Jesus. • Covenant: The old covenant and the law serve one purpose only, to show absolute failure, that all might be brought to death through the Cross. You do NOT obey! To come alive inside of Jesus, we must first be declared justly innocent by God. Faith sees God; human performance sees only the curse. • Life: Life is human thinking FILLED with the Spirit of God. Paul asserts that the Spirit becoming part of our humanity that we might know God is the PROMISE God gave Abraham. • Definition: Faith begins with honesty. “I am without hope; I NEED Jesus.” Then faith is the channel of receiving. Faith receives the Promise of Spirit, and then, by Spirit, faith receives the blessing, every good Word that Jesus speaks. • Covenant: The Covenant, the relationship we have with God through Jesus, is of immense importance. That Covenant is a Word of Promise spoken by God, not just to Abraham, but also to the Lord Jesus Christ, the One Heir of Abraham. This Promise is fixed forever. • Covenant: God requires all contrary actions, all deviations, all false stories of self to acknowledge the absolute finality of the Cross. A relationship with God begins with honesty. The death of the Cross cannot save anyone, however, but only the LIFE of the One to whom God made the Promise (see Romans 5:10). Only a Mediator can connect us with God. Only the entrance of Promise can save us from the false story. • Definition: A mediator is one who goes between two in order to resolve all differences that the two might walk together as one. Our Covenant is with God, a Covenant of togetherness; Jesus is the Mediator of that Covenant. • Definition: The law versus the Promise of Spirit; these are both covenants, that is, the goal is always connection with God. The most important fact of law is “no law can give Life” (see Galatians 3:22). The most important fact of Spirit is “it is the Spirit that gives Life” (see John 6:63). Life is knowing God (see John 17:3). The mediator of law is self, self doing, human performance imagining a “connection” with God. The one who says, “I will do what God says,” is lying, and thus, by the law, is executed immediately without hope (the Cross – Galatians 2:20). The Promise of Spirit is the pathway for Jesus into us, Jesus to be written upon our hearts as every Word God speaks, Jesus our Life and our All-Connection with God. Only through Jesus Sent into us can we know the Father and LIVE! To trust in self-doing is death; to live by Spirit is Life. • Ruling Verse 6: To be a son of God is to be one who boldly proclaims, “I have already entered into all that is God through the Way that is Christ Jesus.” To be a son is to apprehend all that is God given to us, through full assurance of faith. • Ruling Verse 5: Every action of faith in knowing God, in living life, and in loving one another comes only out from Galatians 2:20, out from a Jesus who has already come into union with us inside the protection of the Cross. Jesus has already enclothed us with Himself. • Covenant: And Jesus has already connected us fully with God and has already made us one together inside of Himself. Inside of Jesus, we are the Promise given to Abraham; we are the Promised Heir.	f. This word is typically translated either “justified” or “righteous/ness.” I have chosen “just innocence” or “just approval” depending on the context. It refers to the speaking of God inside Himself concerning us. The word “just” means that our innocence is fully legal and True to God’s requirements. g. The good speaking of Christ. Notice also that the “blessing” is not to Abraham from all other people, but rather through Abraham to all other people. Those who are not a blessing to their neighbors regardless of ethnicity or creed are NOT the seed of Abraham. h. The claim, “I will obey God,” is always fake. i. The Greek word means “seized us out of the market place.” j. The Greek word is sperma, it means the sperm cell. Only when it is used in reference to places would I translate it as “seed.” Otherwise, Jesus, as the Word God speaks into us, is, in fact, God’s Sperm by which we are conceived. k. Those who “obey perfectly” are still dead, and, like Paul, are still puttng Jesus to death. Life is only Jesus inside of us. l. The translation as “kept under law” is false and not found in the Greek. The law was not “keeping” anyone; Paul’s choice of words requires bondage only.
