Keswick '17 - Don Carson 3: The Guardian until Christ Came
Galatians 3: 1-29. This year, 2017, we are celebrating the 500th anniversary of the onset of the Reformation. Although Luther, Calvin and the other magisterial Reformers were committed to teaching and preaching the entire Bible, they gave a primary place to Romans and Galatians, understanding that these letters spoke with rare power to the issues of the 16th century. For slightly different reasons, Galatians speaks powerfully to the twentyfirst century too, addressing as it does such issues as the nature of authority, the exclusiveness of the gospel, the work of Jesus Christ on the cross, the nature of saving faith, the manner in which the new covenant fulfils the old, the work of the Spirit and the glory of true Christian freedom.
