Galatians 3:15-25
introduction
Welcome to Mission Hills. So good to have you with us today.
Let me ask you a question: how many of us know how to ride a bike? How many of us learned to ride a bike by using training wheels? How many of us are still using training wheels? Not a lot of hands up anymore. Why not? Why don't we still use training wheels? 2 answers: first, we don't use training wheels because we don't need training wheels. Second, we don't use training wheels because training wheels would actually get in the way of riding a bike now. Can you imagine riding a mountain bike down a narrow trail, zipping past aspens and pines... with training wheels? Of course not.
The reality is that we all stopped using training wheels the moment we no longer needed them, Not only because we no longer needed them, but also because they would actually get in the way of riding a bike now that we know how to ride a bike.
so here is an interesting question: what if we're still using training wheels in life? And what if, because we're still using training wheels, we're constantly getting hung up and slowed down... and we're not experiencing life the way God intended it?
Let me show you what I mean. Once you grab a Bible and start making your way to Galatians chapter 3 verse 15?
By the way, if you're just joining us, let me get you caught up real quick. We're in a series on the book of Galatians where Paul has been explaining the basics of the gospel which is that believing in Jesus is the basis for belonging to God and his people. And last time, he made that argument from the life of Abraham in the book of genesis. Abraham was the first Jewish person they got called to belong to him. And what pulp pointed out was that Abraham belonged by believing God by trusting him.
Now one of the possible objections to Paul's argument is, ''OK, good point. Believing is how Abraham came to belong to God. ...
