The law had a purpose in the past that would not last. When people trust Christ, the purpose of the law ends. The Christians in Galatia thought that they also should obey the law. They thought that this would help them to make more progress. But Paul had clearly explained that this was wrong. People are free from the law’s power when they trust Christ.

God’s sons

v26 All of you are God’s sons because you trust Jesus Christ. v27 You received *baptism so that you were united with Christ. You have put on Christ in the same way that you put on new clothes. v28 Now there is no difference between *Jews and *Gentiles. There is no difference between slaves and free people. There is no difference between men and women. Each of you united yourself with Jesus Christ in the same way. It is as if you all have become one person. v29 If you belong to Christ then you are Abraham’s *descendant. And you will receive what God has promised.
