The Good Old Days

Speaker: Jason Whitley Series: Galatians (2018/2019) Scripture: Galatians 4:8–11

As humans, we are prone to nostalgic feelings. And, reminiscing for seasons gone by can serve as a source of comfort to us in times of difficulty. But, when we reminisce in such a way that does not to lead to gratitude to God but instead leads to needless comparisons and a belittling of our present situation, we may have fallen into a trap. This is what the Galatian Church was in the midst of. At the prompting of the Judaizers, they began a longing for the past - a time before Christ.
Paul send in this passage an apostolic warning to they who are now on the verge of apostasy - already turning away from Christianity. The church had begun to replace faith in Christ with Law-keeping.


Four Blessings the Galatians Lost By Turning to The Old Days (Before Christ)

  1. The True God (Galatians 4:8)
  2. Freedom (Galatians 4:9,10)
  3. Knowing God (Galatians 4:9)
  4. Final Justification (Galatians 4:11)
