Podcast: Galatians 3: The Purpose of the Law

The To Elysia and Back Again Podcast

We learned in Galatians 1 and 2 that we are justified (declared righteous) by our faith and are therefore dead to the law. "So wait a minute," I'm sure many of you are saying. What on earth was the law for to begin with? Great question, and I'll be answering that in this podcast. (Well, technically, Paul answers it in Galatians. I'm just going to talk about what he says.)

This week, we'll be looking at Galatians 3, and we'll be discussing both the purpose of the law and a special covenant that God made with Abraham in Genesis 15--one that foreshadows everything we'll be celebrating come Easter in these next few weeks!
