Main Point: Righteousness is by faith, not by works because the one who tries to live by the works of the law is cursed. But Jesus became a curse for us in order that we (Abraham's spiritual children, both Jews and Gentiles) might receive Abraham's blessing, the Holy Spirit, by faith. Outline: I. Context: Galatian Christians were being influenced by Judaizers to obey works of the Law. II. Paul argues that a person is justified by faith, not by works of the Law (3:1-14) A. Argument from Experience: The Galatians received the Spirit by hearing with faith, not by works of the law (1-6) B. Contrast between those who are of faith and those who rely on works of the law 1. Those of faith (7-9): a. They are the true sons of Abraham, even the Gentiles (Galatians)! b. They are blessed together with Abraham 2. Those who rely on works (10-12): a. They are under a curse b. They cannot be justified before God C. The reason this is true: Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law (13-14) 1. The Means: He became a curse for us 2. The End: That the Gentiles might be regarded as true children of Abraham. 3. The ultimate end: The Gentiles receive the Holy Spirit through faith. vs. 10 "Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all the things written in the book of the Law and do them." Quote from Dt. 27:26 - ESV has " cursed be anyone who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them ". Set at Mt. Ebal as the Israelites are going into the promised land and confirming the covenant with God. This is the last in a string of curses, the summary statement of all vs. 11 - Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for " The righteous shall live by faith ." Referring to Hab. 2:4 "Behold his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith." vs. 12 - But the law is not of faith, rather "The one who does them shall live by them." Quote from Lev. 18:5 "You shall follow my rules and keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LROD your God (vs. 4). You shall therefore keep my statutes and my rules; if a person does them, he shall live by them [ie, the statutes and rules] : I am the LORD." Paul is contrasting these two ways of living (and being justified?): by faith or by works. It does not negate the command to be righteous and holy, to walk in God's ways. If someone does keep his rules and statutes, he will live. But we can't because we are fallen. Thus, the righteous person will live by faith in Christ to be his righteousness. It is a matter of doing versus believing. vs. 13 - Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree." Referring to Deut 21:23 And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree (vs 22), his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall bury him teh same day, for a hanged man is cursed by God. You shall not defile your land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance.
