Notes

Galatians 3:26

Those who are God's children through faith in Jesus Christ (see also 4:4 –7; John 1:12; Romans 9:8) have come of age as heirs to his promises (see Galatians 3:24 –25, 29). They have received a part of that inheritance (3:14; Ephesians 1:14). The Galatians acted unwisely by trying to gain access to God through circumcision (Galatians 3:1). As God's children by faith, they already had the best possible access to him.

Galatians 3:26–29

Because of Christ, our condition under faith is different from our condition under the law (3:23 –24).

Galatians 3:23–29

Paul compares two different times: how God's people lived when they were under the law before Jesus came, and how they live now that they belong to Christ and follow him.
