Galatians 3: 2 Commentary

El Nino Roland G. You failed again to answer legitimate question. I thought you want to educate us? Why ran away?

You keep on framing words which you yourself donot understand clearly, what kind of teacher is that?

Senor Tiuche (Post #5): Just what I thought. I will post commentaries under relevant verses. After I post commentaries you can say “I knew that!”

El Nino roland G. You are the one who is confused. You cannot even explain your own writings!

Here is another question: Explain what you mean by spirituality by works?

You are confused. The phrase “work out your salvation” in Phil. 2:12 has nothing to do with spirituality by works.

Salvation is not of Work but we need to work out our Salvation with fear and trembling. Those who are lawless wants to make everybody lawless by putting all the weight in favor of grace, while the Bible tells us that we should divide the this aright…This people who cannot even understand their own writings tries to lead…they are leaders alright…using their hands and knees to crawl forward…the bible tells us regarding this people when they become leaders:

Isaiah 3:4,12 I will make boys their officials; mere children will govern them….Youths oppress my people, women rule over them. O my people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path.

A baby trying to teach salvation? Out of the mouth of babes comes praises alright, but when the babes wants to lead…their mothers ought to spank them!If the mothers fails to discipline the babes..then THE FATHER WILL!

Further commentary on this verse: God’s grace is an expression of God’s love. God is love. Unlike members of humankind, God does not need an object to love. So, when it comes to salvation, God’s grace says Jesus Christ does all the work. No one earns salvation. No one works for salvation. And, no one deserves salvation. Salvation is a gift (Rom. 6:23).

In this verse, the aorist tense refers to the exact time when the Galatians responded to salvation and put their trust in Jesus Christ. The indicative mood means the Galatians recognized the reality of their salvation. They knew their saved status. The active voice means the Galatians received the gift of salvation. They did nothing to earn or deserve it.

There are many arrogant people who want to tell others what they are doing to earn or work their way into Heaven. They call attention to themselves instead of Jesus Christ, who did all the work. Jesus Christ said He finished the work. He said, “It is finished!” (John 19:30). So, Jesus Christ did all the work (John 4:34; John 17.4). Salvation is not by works (Eph. 2:9). And, spirituality is also not of works because it is a product of the Holy Spirit, which did not come from works.

Paul begins a series of questions. He says he could rest his entire case on “this one” question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith? The hearing of faith has to do with a willingness to listen to God’s message of salvation.

Paul knows the Holy Spirit does not come into a person by keeping the Mosaic Law. Paul also knows the Holy Spirit does not leave a person if they do not keep the Mosaic Law. The Holy Spirit is a gift. Grace begins at the cross. It does not mix with the Mosaic Law.
