No Nanny NeededGalatians 3:23-4:7Tim NayPart of GalatiansOctober 19, 202523 “Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.” —Galatians 3:23 16 “You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand up against the life of your neighbor: I am the Lord.” —Leviticus 19:16 17 “You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him.” —Leviticus 19:17 The Law imprisons us because we stand condemned. 24 “So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.” —Galatians 3:24-25 GUARDIAN (Pedagogue) • Responsible for training up a child morally & socially • Responsible for protecting the child. • Was to be obeyed • Treated the child more like a slave than someone free • Responsible for a determined timeLAW OF MOSES • Trained observers morally and socially • Protected the observer • Was to be obeyed • Observers were enslaved to it • Responsible for a determined amount of time1 “I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.” —Galatians 4:1-5 The Law is no longer a guardian between us and our Abba Father! 6 “And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.” —Galatians 4:6-7 TAKEAWAY: Our energy is for loving God, not for keeping rules.
