Bible Study – Galatians 3.23-end

Q1 What can you remember about the circumstances which led to Paul writing this
letter? Who were his opponents?

First, let’s look at verses 23 to 25:-

Q2 According to Paul, why was the Law necessary?

Q3 Why is the Law no longer necessary? What has changed?

Q4 What does the phrase “justified by faith” mean to you?
Now we turn to verses 26 to 29:-

Q5 How do we become children of God and what does this mean for us?

Q6 In what ways is the idea of clothing ourselves with Christ helpful? How might this
thought help us in our relationships with God and with other people?

Q7 How revolutionary is Paul’s teaching in verse 28, bearing in mind the kind of society
he lived in? How challenging is this verse to both Church and society today?

Q8 What difference should verse 29 make to our lives as Christians? Does this idea
discourage evangelism? Why should we want to share our inheritance with anyone else?
Finally, a couple of general questions:-

Q9 What are the advantages and disadvantages of a rules-based religion? What is the
alternative and which approach did Jesus teach?

Q10 In what ways do you feel challenged to deepen your relationship with God?
