Have you ever thought about what the world would be like if there

A certain man dreamed that he went to consult his Bible and

The Proof That A Man Is Justified By Faith Alone And Not By Works
Study 2: Galatians 3:6-14 —Teacher’s Outline and Study Bible
B. The Proof of Scripture, 3:6-
14
6 Even as Abraham believed
God, and it was accounted to him
for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they
which are of faith, the same are
the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing
that God would justify the hea-
then through faith, preached be-
fore the gospel unto Abraham,
saying, In thee shall all nations be
blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith
are blessed with faithful Abra-
ham.
10 For as many as are of the
works of the law are under the
curse: for it is written, Cursed is
every one that continueth not in
all things which are written in the
book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by
the law in the sight of God, it is
evident: or, The just shall live by
faith.
12 And the law is not of faith:
but,
the man that doeth them shall live
in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law, being made
a curse for us: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that hangeth
on a tree:
14 That the blessing of Abraham
might come on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ; that we
might receive the promise of the
Spirit through faith.
1. Scripture uses Abraham to il-
lustrate the truth
a. He believed God—thus he
was judged righteous
b. Those who are of faith, who
believe God, are the true
sons of Abraham
2. Scripture promised the gospel
to Abraham long ago
a. Scripture foresaw that God
would judge men righteous
through faith
b. Those who are of faith are
judged righteous with Abra-
ham
3. Scripture says the law puts a
man under a curse
a. Because a man does not keep
the whole law
b. Because God’s way is “to live
by faith”
1) The law is not of faith
2) The man of law will be
judged by the law
4. Scripture says Christ has re-
deemed us from the curse
a. He was made a curse for us
b. His purpose: To open the door
of blessing to all men
1) The blessing of Abraham
2) The blessing of the Spirit.
