Understanding Our Inheritance: The Two Covenants of Galatians 4

In the life of every believer, there is a fundamental question that must be answered: Are you living by your own effort, or by the power of God’s promise? In the Apostle Paul’s masterful exposition in Galatians 4:21-31, he takes us back to the book of Genesis to settle this question once and for all. By contrasting the lives of Hagar and Sarah, Paul reveals the radical difference between a life of religious bondage and a life of spiritual freedom.

The Flesh vs. The Promise

The narrative of Abraham’s two sons, Ishmael and Isaac, is more than ancient history—it is a spiritual blueprint.

  • The Way of the Flesh: Represented by Hagar and Ishmael, this path relies on human “conniving” and effort to achieve God’s approval. It is the path of the Law, given at Mount Sinai, which leads only to bondage.
  • The Way of the Spirit: Represented by Sarah and Isaac, this path relies on a supernatural miracle. Isaac was born not because Abraham was strong, but because God was faithful to His Promise.

As children of the “Jerusalem above,” believers today are not under the thumb of legalistic rules. We are heirs to a kingdom, born of the Spirit, and justified by faith in the singular Seed: Jesus Christ.

Breaking Free from the Mosaic Law! | Galatians 4:1-20

Breaking Free: From the Bondage of Law to the Freedom of Sonship

The transition from religious performance to the freedom found in Christ is perhaps the most critical journey a believer can take. In the fourth chapter of Galatians, the Apostle Paul addresses a church in crisis—a people who had tasted the grace of the Gospel but were being lured back into the “weak and worthless” rituals of legalism.

The Heart of the Message: Underage Heirs and Divine Adoption

Paul begins with a powerful cultural illustration. In the ancient world, an heir was legally the owner of the estate from birth, yet functionally lived as a slave under the authority of guardians until a date set by the father.

This, Paul explains, was the purpose of the Mosaic Law. It was a temporary tutor—a disciplinarian intended to guide the people until the “fullness of time” when God sent His Son. Christ, born under the Law, fulfilled every jot and tittle of its requirements so that we might be redeemed and receive the “adoption as sons.”

Moving Beyond Rituals

The danger for the Galatians—and for many today—is the tendency to return to a “performance metric” for holiness. Paul’s concern was deeply personal. Having seen the Galatians embrace him and the Gospel with such fervor, he was perplexed to find them observing days, months, and seasons as if these rituals could add anything to the finished work of Christ.

The goal of the Christian life is not the perfection of religious behavior, but the formation of Christ within the believer. This is a settled maturity that recognizes Jesus alone as the source of perfect righteousness.
