in Galatians chapter 3 Paul contrasts salvation under the Law of Moses with the salvation we have through Jesus. Galatians 3:22-29 is full of truths regarding our true position as sons of our loving Father. We will look at 8 things which our faith in Christ will cause us to become.

2. Galatians 3:22-29 But the Scripture has confined
all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus
Christ might be given to those who believe. (23)
But before faith came, we were kept under guard
by the law, kept for the faith which would
afterward be revealed. (24) Therefore the law was
our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be
justified by faith. (25) But after faith has come,
we are no longer under a tutor. (26) For you are
all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
(27) For as many of you as were baptized into
Christ have put on Christ. (28) There is neither
Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free,
there is neither male nor female; for you are all
one in Christ Jesus. (29) And if you are Christ's,
then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs
according to the promise.

3. What Faith Does
A.Paul contrasts salvation under the
Law of Moses with the salvation we
have through Jesus the Messiah.
B.Galatians 3:22-29 is full of truths
regarding our true position as sons
of our loving Heavenly Father.
C.We are going to look at eight things
which our faith in Christ Jesus
causes us to do or become.

4. I. FAITH CAUSES US TO
BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD
A. Galatians 3:26 For you are all sons of God
through faith in Christ Jesus.
B. 1 John 3:1-3 Behold what manner of love the
Father has bestowed on us, that we should be
called children of God! Therefore the world
does not know us, because it did not know
Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God;
and it has not yet been revealed what we shall
be, but we know that when He is revealed, we
shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He
is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him
purifies himself, just as He is pure.

5. I. FAITH CAUSES US TO
BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD
C. Romans 8:12-15 Therefore, brethren, we are
debtors--not to the flesh, to live according to
the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the
flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put
to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did
not receive the spirit of bondage again to
fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption
by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."

6. II. FAITH CAUSES US TO BE BAPTIZED
INTO CHRIST AND PUT HIM ON
A. Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as were
baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
B. Mark 16:15-16 And He said to them, "Go into all
the world and preach the gospel to every
creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized
will be saved; but he who does not believe will
be condemned.
C. Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip as he
preached the things concerning the kingdom of
God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men
and women were baptized.

7. II. FAITH CAUSES US TO BE BAPTIZED
INTO CHRIST AND PUT HIM ON
D. Acts 8:35-38 Then Philip opened his mouth,
and beginning at this Scripture, preached
Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the
road, they came to some water. And the
eunuch said, "See, here is water. What hinders
me from being baptized?" 37 Then Philip said,
"If you believe with all your heart, you may."
And he answered and said, "I believe that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God." 38 So he
commanded the chariot to stand still. And both
Philip and the eunuch went down into the
water, and he baptized him.

8. III. FAITH CAUSES US NOT
TO FLAUNT OUR ETHNICITY
A. Galatians 3:28a There is neither Jew nor Greek,
B. Romans 10:12-13 For there is no distinction
between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over
all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For
"whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall
be saved."
C. Acts 10:34-35 34 Then Peter opened his mouth
and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no
partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears
Him and works righteousness is accepted by
Him.

9. III. FAITH CAUSES US NOT
TO FLAUNT OUR ETHNICITY
D. Acts 17:26 And He has made from one
blood every nation of men to dwell on all the
face of the earth, and has determined their
preappointed times and the boundaries of
their dwellings,
E. Genesis 9:18-19 Now the sons of Noah who
went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and
Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and
from these the whole earth was populated.

10. IV. FAITH CAUSES US NOT TO
FLAUNT OUR SOCIAL STATUS
A. Galatians 3:28b there is neither slave nor free,
B. 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were
all baptized into one body--whether Jews or
Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all
been made to drink into one Spirit.
C. 1 Corinthians 7:21-24 Were you called while a
slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you
can be made free, rather use it. 22 For he who is
called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord's
freedman. Likewise he who is called while free
is Christ's slave. 23 You were bought at a price;
do not become slaves of men. 24 Brethren, let
each one remain with God in that state in which
he was called.

11. IV. FAITH CAUSES US NOT TO
FLAUNT OUR SOCIAL STATUS
D.Luke 21:1-4 And He looked up and saw
the rich putting their gifts into the
treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain poor
widow putting in two mites. 3 So He said,
"Truly I say to you that this poor widow
has put in more than all; 4 for all these
out of their abundance have put in
offerings for God, but she out of her
poverty put in all the livelihood that she
had."

12. IV. FAITH CAUSES US NOT TO
FLAUNT OUR SOCIAL STATUS
E. James 2:1-7 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.
2 For if there should come into your assembly a man
with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also
come in a poor man in filthy clothes, 3 and you pay
attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to
him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the
poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my
footstool," 4 have you not shown partiality among
yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen
the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of
the kingdom which He promised to those who love
Him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not
the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts?
7 Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which
you are called?

13. V. FAITH CAUSES US NOT
TO FLAUNT OUR GENDER
A. Galatians 3:28c there is neither male nor
female;
B. Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own
image; in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them.
C. Genesis 5:1-2 This is the book of the genealogy
of Adam. In the day that God created man, He
made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created
them male and female, and blessed them and
called them Mankind in the day they were
created.

14. V. FAITH CAUSES US NOT
TO FLAUNT OUR GENDER
D. Genesis 2:21-24 And the LORD God caused a
deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and
He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh
in its place. 22 Then the rib which the LORD
God had taken from man He made into a
woman, and He brought her to the man. 23 And
Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones And
flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man."
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and
mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall
become one flesh.

15. VI. FAITH CAUSES US TO
BE UNITED
A.Galatians 3:28d for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
B.John 17:20-23 "I do not pray for these alone, but
also for those who will believe in Me through their
word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are
in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us,
that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And
the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that
they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them,
and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in
one, and that the world may know that You have sent
Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
C.Romans 12:4-5 For as we have many members in
one body, but all the members do not have the same
function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in
Christ, and individually members of one another.

16. VII. FAITH CAUSES US TO
BELONG TO CHRIST
A. Galatians 3:29a And if you are Christ’s,
B. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your
body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
whom you have from God, and you are not your
own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore
glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which
are God's.
C. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 For the love of Christ
compels us, because we judge thus: that if One
died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that
those who live should live no longer for
themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose
again.
D. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is
your reasonable service.

17. VIII. FAITH CAUSES US TO
BE HEIRS
A. Galatians 3:29b then you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise.
B. Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit Himself bears
witness with our spirit that we are children of
God, 17 and if children, then heirs--heirs of God
and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer
with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
C. Galatians 4:6-7 And because you are sons, God
has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your
hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" 7 Therefore
you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a
son, then an heir of God through Christ.
