  4. Sacred Sunday~Galathians, Chapter 3/Paul Fought The Law/The Law Lost
Paul Fought the Law Paul is getting madder by the minute. He calls
the Galatians "foolish" and starts in on a rhetorical tantrum.
Haven't these guys seen that Jesus has been crucified? How do they
think they got the Holy Spirit? Did they painstakingly read and
follow the Torah or did they accept the truth of the gospel that
Paul told them about? (Hint: it's the gospel.) The Galatians
started out as people in the Spirit, but now they're worried about
their physical bodies.  This makes no sense. Why would God
pour his Spirit on them in the first place just to have them go
back and start following the law? In Genisis, Abraham simply put
his faith in God. God was cool with that and promised that everyone
who believed in him would be blessed. This was way before the law,
so obviously this proves that people don't need the law to get on
God's good side. Basically, Paul is saying that the law is like a
curse hanging over our heads. When Jesus died, he took that curse
away. Now, we can just live for God and not worry about what we eat
or if we're sacrificing a lamb the right way. It's kind of like
when someone finalizes their will. That means it's set in stone and
can't be changed. Same thing goes for God. God promised that
Abraham's offspring would be cool with him if they had faith. The
law came way after this: 430 years later to be exact. And the law
can't change God's initial promise. And the Law Lost. Okay, so then
what is the point of the law? Seriously, those Torah books are
thick. Was God just wasting our time with all those laws about
sacrificing goats and stuff? Here's Paul's answer: No, the law was
kind of a placeholder until Jesus could come. And now he's here, so
bacon bars for everyone! -Thanks to www.shmoop.com
