Gal 3:7-9  "Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed." So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith." 


If anything is sure it is that the children of Abraham are born of faith, not of flesh and blood. And God's Word knew before; (He is Yahweh, Jesus Christ) he proclaimed this to Abraham before He came to fulfill what He proclaimed. So we know for sure that it is not only Jews who are part of God's family by faith, but everyone who believes and follows Christ Jesus, is Abraham's child. 



Gen 12:1-3  "Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.  And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." 

Everyone who relies on their keeping of the law as a way to please God and earn His love, forfeits God's love. They get a curse because their faith is in themselves and not in God. 
So the commandment and the requirements of God' commands have and always will be believe in my grace, goodness and love and you will be led into life abundant. On the other hand mere law keeping to prove you are good enough or better than others is an empty activity that is not able to be sustained. That kind of law keeping dies out in the end because God's heart, His Absolute Love is not in the action.


Gal 3:10-12  "For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them." Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for "The righteous shall live by faith."  But the law is not of faith, rather "The one who does them shall live by them." 


So Jesus Christ, Isa Al Masih, Yeshua Messiah, Yahweh; gave back to us what we had forfeited. He forfeited His eternal place of unbroken fellowship with the Father, that as God's Son, He could win life and faith back for us in our dead hearts. He could place the very heart of God, by the presence of the Holy Spirit of God being accepted into our hearts.


Gal 3:13, 14  "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"-- so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith." 


The human example is a covenant, no one from outside can annul or add to it once accepted by both parties. Now the two parties here were Jesus Christ (Yahweh) and Abraham. All who follow after are a part of whom the Lord Jesus Christ adds.


Gal 3:15, 16  "To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "And to offsprings," referring to many, but referring to one, "And to your offspring," who is Christ." 


So this is what I mean when I say the law did not alter the promise of faith given by the grace of the Lord. The law wasn't a different covenant nor did it void the covenant of faith. For the inheritance of becoming a child of God never came from law keeping, the adoption to God's family was only ever by grace through faith. 
No the law was added because of rebellion and offense of God's royal commandment to love. It was an intermediary of God's presence until administered through God's messengers until God's one and only begotten Son came.


Gal 3:17-18  "This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise. Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary." 


Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God, His Son and the Spirit are one. One in three and three in one. They all agree with the law and the law points to their absolute love, justice and holiness. The mere keeping of the law could not give life, the heart of God's Absolute love had to be added by grace through faith.
So God's law imprisoned everyone in disobedience,so that faith in God's Absolute Love could be given by grace to those who believe.


Gal 3:20-22 "Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one.  "Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.  But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe." 


Before faith came into our hearts, I Paul know this first hand, we were captive to the law. The law was a type of guardian identifying to us our need to be justified by faith. It kept pointing us to something and that something was Jesus Christ, when He came the guardian fulfilled the intended mission. The guardian revealed our sin and need for a savior and pointed to the savior Jesus Christ as the perfect sacrifice of God's Absolute Love and justice.


Gal 3:23, 24  "Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith." 


Now the faith in us doesn't nullify the work of the guardian, but the ritual and ceremonial portion of the law no longer has the purpose of calling us to God's pathway to life. The pathway is in our hearts as children of the Father, He is Absolute Love. If you have died to self and risen to life in he power of Christ, as signified by baptism, you have put on the nature of Christ and now in faith love the commands of God. For in them you find life. 


Gal 3:25-27  "But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ."
