The Purpose of the Law by Richard Sherrer 04/06/26 The Law and the Promise Galatians 3:23-29 Before faith we were held captive, And imprisoned under the Law; Until faith had become active, When confessed and erased the flaw. The Law was our guardian, Until Christ came and justified; By faith became a champion, After He had been crucified. Because now that faith has arrived, For in Jesus, you are a son; With salvation we have survived, An eternal life has been won. Many of you have been baptized, Considered as children of God; Even though the world has chastised, Continue to honor and laud. There is neither a Greek or Jew, Neither is there a slave or free; No male or female to construe, You are in Christ as to decree. Then you are Abraham’s offspring, Heirs according to the promise; The Father’s blessings that will bring, Salvation from righteous justice. Copyright © 2026 Richard Newton Sherrer
