Galatians 3:24-25 NLT

Let me put it another way. 

The law was our guardian until Christ came; 

it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith.

And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.

Galatians 3:24-25 NLT

The law was our guardian.

The CEB version uses the word custodian.

In the Greek Paul uses "paidagogos" which means guardian, tutor, instructor, someone in charge of a young person's morals and life choices.

This is not a word about power, command, demand, but includes care, nuture, wanting the best for someone, and now the law has been absorbed into faith in Jesus.

Now it's faith in Jesus that cares, nurtures, wants the best for us. 

Faith in Jesus is our guardian, our custodian, our tutor, instructor. 

Somehow, God is in us.

Faith in Jesus is our foundation on which Life grows and flourishes, the foundation on which we can grow into that fully aliveness that we were created for...that you were created for...
