galatians-3:28

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:28

‘There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male or female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.’ And as all who are His are ‘sons of God’ there can be no difference between them. Being a Jew or a Gentile (thought of by Jews as ‘dogs’) has been done away in Christ, a full answer to the Judaisers. The Gentile does not have to become a Jew because in Christ he stands in an equal position of acceptability before God without doing so. (But he does become... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Galatians 3:23-29

Galatians 3:23-Joel : . Inferior, temporary, co-operating— such is the distinctive nature of the Law. It had held Israel prisoner, till Christ should come. Or it resembled the slave who led a child to (Christ’ s) school ( 1 Corinthians 4:15 *). Now that Christ has appeared there is no room for a law-regime. Sonship, faith, a new humanity “ put on” like a garment at baptism ( Galatians 3:27; cf. Romans 13:14, and in a modified application, 1 Corinthians 15:53 f.), these are the privileges... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Galatians 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Greek; in the business or justification, the case of Jews and Greeks is the same. This he saith, that the Galatians might not think themselves disadvantaged from their not being under the law, as the schoolmaster that should lead them unto Christ. There is neither bond nor free; neither doth Christ consider the qualities and circumstances of persons, whether they be servants or free men; for though they be servants, Christ hath made them free, 1 Corinthians 7:22;... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESGalatians 3:26. Ye are all the children of God.—No longer children requiring a tutor, but sons emancipated and walking at liberty.Galatians 3:28. Ye are all one in Christ Jesus.—No class privileged above another, as the Jews under the law had been above the Gentiles. Difference of sex makes no difference in Christian privileges. But under the law the male sex had great privileges.Galatians 3:29. If ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs.—Christ is... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:28

Galatians 3:28 I. When we look at the history of the world, we learn something, even from ordinary history, of the oneness of the human race. We are one with those who are very distant from us in time. When we read the history of the men of old, we see how like they were to ourselves in their passions, in their sufferings, in their desires, and in their rejoicing. The old fathers looked not for transitory promises. If their family life was blessed, it was from looking forward in the same spirit... read more

DISCOURSE: 2069BENEFITS AND OBLIGATIONS OF BAPTISMGalatians 3:27-29. As many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.TO enter fully into these words, the whole scope of the Apostle’s argument should be duly considered. He has been insisting upon... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Galatians 3:1-29

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Galatians chapter three. Background: Paul the apostle had been in the area of Galatia. Galatia was a general area like a county or a state. It was not a city. There were many churches established there. After Paul's departure, other teachers came in declaring that the people could not be saved by a simple faith in Jesus Christ, but must also to that faith add the obedience to the law and the rituals of the law of circumcision. And many of the people in those... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Galatians 3:1-29

Galatians 3:1 . Oh foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you: εβασκανε , who hath fascinated, beguiled, or seduced you by subtlety and cunning, and sought by ingenious malice to draw you from the truth and glory of a crucified Redeemer. The jews and greeks, on seeing Christ set before them, as he is in the scriptures, first suffering and then entering into his glory, have believed on him, and most of them believed under the first sermon they heard. Why then should you, oh misguided men, be... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Galatians 3:28

Galatians 3:28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free.The unity of true believersThe Christian scheme is a uniting scheme, and all real saints are one in their glorious Head.I. There is a sense in which the saints are too much one, viz., in that which is evil. They spring from the same depraved original, and are partakers of the same corrupt nature. Though sin does not reign in them, it remains; and too frequently led away captive by it, they act in a manner displeasing... read more
