Sermon Questions
- What can we learn from 3:1-3 about how the Galatians came to Christ from paganism? What was presented to them? How did they respond? What was the result?
- What can we learn from 3:3-5 about how the Galatians are to grow spiritually, now that they are Christians?
- Read Genesis 15:1-19 as background to verse 6. What does it mean that Abraham’s faith was credited? On what basis does God credit righteousness to Abraham?
- How was Abraham’s saving faith a model for us?
- How does the experience of gospel faith contrast with that of a person who seeks to earn God’s acceptance? (verses 10-12)
- If verse 10 is true, how can God credit us as righteous and not be unjust (verses 13-14)? What does it mean that Jesus did not simply take our curse but” became a curse” for us?
