Bewitched or Blessed?
LIBERTY .. NOT LEGALISM
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Galatians 3.1-5
October 8, 2006

Now join me in the New Testament book of Galatians as we continue our study under the heading: LIBERTY .. NOT LEGALISM. Now here is what we've been learning from this letter to the churches of Galatia: Jesus Christ came to set the captives free from the curse of the law! That Jesus Christ is the Lord of Liberty! In fact .. listen to the words of Jesus in John 8.36, "... if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."

Oh .. how the Devil would love to see you move out of the liberty of grace and back under the bondage of the Law! He'll even use a church member to see it happen!
Well .. as we move into chapter 3 ... the Apostle Paul is puzzled with what was taking place among the churches! He couldn't believe what he was hearing .. how some of them were bewitched while others of them were blessed. And in our time remaining .. we're going to see what the difference is and then discover who among us today is Bewitched and what that means for you ... and who among us today is Blessed and what that means for you..
