Paul proves justification is by faith via 3 facts in Galatians 3:1-12. 1. Practical Experience- he reminded the Galatians how they received the Spirit by faith. 2. Patriarchal Example- Abraham was declared righteous by faith. 3. Practical Explanation- No one can keep ALL the Law to be made righteous by himself. In verses 13 and 14, Paul then brings his proofs together and shows that it is Christ Jesus who can free us from the curse of the Law, grant us the Abrahamic blessing and send the blessed Spirit into our lives. Jesus redeemed us from the curse, by becoming a curse for us. He took our place and suffered for us. So here, we learn about the very heart of God- He is the generous, merciful and loving blesser- He is so keen to bless, that He freely pays it all through His own Son's sacrifice. Let us then turn to Jesus in repentance and faith!
