Strength To Keep The Faith  

Galatians 3:1-7 (NASB)
¹  You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?
²  This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
³  Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
⁴  Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
⁵  So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
⁶  Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
⁷  Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.

1.     The Cross Of God Reminds Us To Return To Faith 

Galatians 3:1 (NASB)
¹  You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?

2.     The Spirit Of God Enables Us To Progress In Faith

Galatians 3:2-4 (NASB)
²  This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
³  Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
⁴  Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?

3.     The Promises Of God The Father Encourage Us To Trust In Faith

Galatians 3:5 (NASB)
⁵  So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 

Galatians 3:6-9 (NASB)
⁶  Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
⁷  Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.
⁸  The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU."
⁹  So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.

4.     The Son Of God Redeems Believers From The Curse By Faith

Galatians 3:10-12 (NASB)
¹⁰  For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM."
¹¹  Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."
¹²  However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, "HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM."

Galatians 3:13-14 (NASB)
¹³  Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"—
¹⁴  in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
