Episode Synopsis

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:25‬ ‭ESV‬‬ 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.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:24‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4:3-4, 9‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise. Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4:21-24‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman. For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4:31-5:1‬ ESV‬‬
