Galatians 4:22

Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.  (Bono)

Galatians 4:24-26

 As Hagar bore Abraham a son who was not an heir but a servant, so Sinai, the Law, the allegorical Hagar, bore God a carnal and servile people of the Law without promise.

  (Martin Luther)

Galatians 4:27

Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. 

(Dallas Willard)

Liberty derives from grace, and it produces the things the law demands but cannot form. (

Paul Zahl)

To be Christians under the law of grace does not mean to wander unbridled outside the law, but to be engrafted in Christ, by whose grace we are free from the curse of the law, and by whose Spirit we have the law engraved upon our hearts." 

(John Calvin)

 

“The Law requires much but offers no help in the carrying out of its requirements. The Lord Jesus requires just as much, yea even more (Matt. 5:21-48), but what he requires from us he himself carries out in us. The law makes demands and leaves us helpless to fulfill them; Christ makes demands, but he himself fulfills in us the very demands he makes. (

Watchman Nee)
