In a powerful exploration of covenant theology, Paul contrasts the old covenant of the law with the new covenant of grace established in Christ. He uses the allegory of Hagar and Sarah to illustrate the difference between living under the law, which leads to bondage, and living under grace, which brings freedom. Hagar represents the earthly Jerusalem, bound by the law, while Sarah symbolizes the heavenly Jerusalem, representing freedom and promise. Paul passionately urges the Galatians to recognize their identity as children of the promise, encouraging them to reject the legalistic tendencies that threaten their faith. This chapter powerfully articulates the transformative nature of the Gospel, calling believers to embrace their freedom in Christ and live as heirs of God’s promise. Paul’s heartfelt appeal serves as a reminder of the joy and liberty found in a relationship with Christ, free from the constraints of the law.
