The Law Complements the Gospel Because It Arrived after Christ Was Promised
Galatians 3:15-18

A Gospel-Aligned Life Is Totally Identified with Christ
Galatians 2:20a
Our post today picks up with Paul sharing from his heart about a gospel-aligned life—what our life justified by faith in Christ should look like. He confronted Peter for bowing to the fear of man and withdrawing from non-Jewish believers in Antioch, and continued with a beautiful teaching about the type of life the gospel is meant to produce. Last week, we saw that the gospel-aligned life is free and for God. Today, we see how it is totally identified with Christ, connected to him in his death and burial, but also his resurrection.
