The context of Galatians 3:28 makes abundantly clear the sense in which men and women are equal in Christ: they are equally justified by faith (v. 24), equally free from the bondage of legalism (v. 25), equally children of God (v. 26), equally clothed with Christ (v. 27), equally possessed by Christ (v. 29), and equally heirs of the promises to Abraham (v. 29)\u2026Galatians 3:28 does not abolish gender-based roles established by God and redeemed by Christ.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
But is Galatians 3:28 only about equality in salvation?\u00a0 Let\u2019s have a close look at the book of Galatians to find out if this is true.<\/p>\n
Paul speaks about agitators who had come into the community and had thrown the Galatians into confusion (Galatians 5:12).\u00a0 These agitators were false brothers, Judaizers and the \u201cparty of the circumcision\u201d and they had come into the congregation to spy on the liberty that the Christians had in order to persuade them to come back into bondage.<\/p>\n
Galatians 2:4\u00a0 But it was because of the false brethren<\/strong> secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nPaul describes in his letters some of the areas that the Judaizers were working to bring Christians into bondage and causing the Jews to treat some with prejudice.\u00a0 In Galatians 5:2, these men were trying to bring circumcision into the congregation of Gentiles.\u00a0 Also in 1 Corinthians 14:34, 35 these followers of the Jewish oral law were trying to silence women in the congregation and they wanted to stop women from public learning.<\/p>\n
In Galatians 2:11-14 Paul says that the \u201cparty of the circumcision\u201d had even influenced Peter so that he withdrew himself and wouldn\u2019t eat with the Gentiles.\u00a0 When the Judaizers came along, (Paul calls them false brethren in Galatians 2:4), Peter was influenced to turn away from the Gentiles treating them as second class citizens unworthy of fellowship.\u00a0 Paul soundly rebuked Peter for his hypocrisy.<\/p>\n
The issue was not about salvation but about sanctification \u2013 the outworking of our faith.\u00a0 Were the new Gentile converts required to follow the Jewish laws to progress in their faith?\u00a0 Paul writes in chapter two that there is an acknowledgment that salvation comes through faith:<\/p>\n
Galatians 2:16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yet even with receiving salvation through faith in Christ Jesus, the Galatians were being influenced to \u201cwork out their salvation\u201d by buying into the bondage of the false brethren that sanctification now comes through the works of the Law.\u00a0 Paul rebukes them in chapter three:<\/p>\n
\nGalatians 3:1\u00a0 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?<\/p>\n
Galatians 3:2\u00a0 This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?<\/p>\n
Galatians 3:3\u00a0 Are you so foolish:?\u00a0 Having begun<\/span> by the Spirit, are you now being perfected<\/strong> by the flesh<\/span>?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nIn verse five Paul continues to deal with the outworking of the faith<\/strong> by giving the example of Abraham:<\/p>\nGalatians 3:5\u00a0 So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you<\/span>, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe Holy Spirit working miracles among them was not given to them because of the works of the law.\u00a0 The evidence of their sonship and the blessings they received after salvation was the very thing that the Old Testament predicted.\u00a0 Paul writes:<\/p>\n
Galatians 3:8\u00a0 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, \u201cALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It isn\u2019t just salvation that comes by faith but sanctification allowing one to abide in Christ by faith.\u00a0 Paul emphasizes that the living-out part of our sanctification must come by faith.<\/p>\n
Galatians 3:11 Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, \u201cTHE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nPaul is not saying here that one comes into righteousness by faith, although this is certainly true.\u00a0 Paul is saying that one must LIVE<\/strong> by faith.\u00a0 This is the outworking of their faith and the very reason that Paul was chastising the Galatians who wanted to live out their faith by adding works.<\/p>\nPaul then instructs the Galatians that the way you live out your Christianity will either make you justified or condemned.\u00a0 Those who are righteous will live by faith (verse 11).\u00a0 Those who live out the law after being justified by faith will revisit the curse.<\/p>\n
\nGalatians 3:12\u00a0 However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, \u201cHE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\nGalatians 3:13\u00a0 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us\u2013for it is written, \u201cCURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE\u201d\u2013<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Notice that Paul is talking about the outworking<\/span> of Christianity.\u00a0 He is talking about the practices that follow salvation.\u00a0 The salvation issue had already been dealt with since the Galatians had received forgiveness of sins through Christ.\u00a0 The issue was now how do they live?\u00a0 Paul says that if they go back to the law, and practice living out the law, they will receive a curse.\u00a0 Since they were redeemed from the curse of the law, they were not to go back to the law, but work out their sanctification through faith<\/span>.<\/p>\nPaul then equates the outworking of our Christianity with our inheritance.<\/p>\n
Galatians 3:18\u00a0 For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In Galatians 3:21 Paul speaks about the promises (plural) of God.\u00a0 Then in verse 25 Paul clearly continues to speak about sanctification \u2013 living the life of faith after salvation.<\/p>\n
Galatians 3:25\u00a0 But now that faith has come<\/strong>, we are no longer under a tutor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNotice here that Paul is speaking about what comes after<\/span> salvation.\u00a0 Now that faith has come<\/strong> what happens next?\u00a0 Now that they have salvation<\/span> do they go back to the rules and regulations that kept them in bondage before coming to Christ?\u00a0 Paul says no.\u00a0 After salvation<\/span> comes a life of faith that gives them their inheritance in Christ.\u00a0 Paul then instructs them on what they are:<\/p>\nGalatians 3:26\u00a0 For you are<\/strong> all sons<\/strong> of God through faith in Christ Jesus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThis is an amazing verse.\u00a0 The inheritance is sonship.\u00a0 There are not sons<\/strong> of God and daughters<\/strong> of God.\u00a0 There are only sons<\/span>.\u00a0 Each one inherits the kingdom in the same way \u2013 all as sons of God.\u00a0 The living out of the faith is clothing themselves with Christ.<\/p>\nGalatians 3:27\u00a0 For all of you who are baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Baptized into Christ is salvation.\u00a0 Clothing ourselves with Christ is our living out<\/span> our faith as sons of God.<\/p>\nNow comes the verse that some want to make only about salvation:<\/p>\n
\nGalatians 3:28\u00a0 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus<\/p>\n
Galatians 3:29\u00a0 And if you belong to Christ, then<\/strong> you are Abraham\u2019s descendants, heirs<\/strong> according to the promise.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nGalatians 3:28 is not about salvation, it is about the inheritance that follows salvation<\/span>.\u00a0 The clear difference <\/strong>between each group in Galatians 3:28 is not salvation but inheritance<\/strong>.\u00a0 The Old Testament provided for salvation for those of the nations who would join themselves with Israel in serving the one true God.\u00a0 The Old Testament also never taught a prejudice against women in regards to their salvation either.\u00a0 Lastly slaves were given the right to participate in the passover sacrifice along with the household.\u00a0 They too could be saved along with the family of Israel.\u00a0 Salvation was not<\/strong> an issue.\u00a0 Inheritance<\/strong> was the issue.<\/p>\nGalatians 3:28 contains a negation of three categories<\/span> that reflected common ways of distinguishing humanity among the Jews. The Jewish cycle of morning prayers for the men began this way: \u201cBlessed be He that He did not make me a Gentile; blessed be He that He did not make me a boor [i.e., an ignorant peasant or a slave]; blessed be He that He did not make me a woman.\u201d<\/p>\nWhat was the problem with each one of these categories that caused the men to rejoice that they were not a Gentile, a slave or a woman?\u00a0 In each one of the groups, the inheritance had been held back.\u00a0 Gentiles did not inherit land in the nation of Israel.\u00a0 Slaves were not part of the inheritance and neither were women.\u00a0 But Paul is saying that we must recognize that just as each has received salvation in the body of Christ as all are already acknowledged as saved, so too must each of the underprivileged groups together with the free Jewish men receive by faith the inheritance<\/strong> as sons<\/strong>.<\/p>\nGentiles inherit all of the promises of Abraham right alongside the Jews.\u00a0 Women inherit all of the promises and rights of sons<\/strong> alongside the men.\u00a0 Slaves inherit the kingdom promises of Abraham right alongside the free born.\u00a0 Just as all have been brought into salvation, so the outworking of salvation, the sanctification and privileges of sonship belong to all.<\/p>\nPaul carries on this important topic into chapter four.\u00a0 Paul writes:<\/p>\n
\nGalatians 4:4\u00a0 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,<\/p>\n
Galatians 4:5\u00a0 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons<\/strong>.<\/p>\nGalatians 4:6\u00a0 Because you are<\/strong> sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, \u201cAbba! Father!\u201d<\/p>\nGalatians 4:7\u00a0 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then<\/strong> an heir<\/strong> through God.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nPaul\u2019s words in Galatians 3:28 should be clear.\u00a0 The outworking of our faith needs to be by faith<\/span> and not by bondage to man\u2019s laws.\u00a0 We are each the inheritors of all<\/strong> of the promises of God because in Christ all of us are sons!\u00a0 It is the issue of inheritance that made sons the ones to be desired.\u00a0 It was never an issue of women not having salvation but not having inheritance rights.<\/p>\nHow should this look regarding an outworking of faith?\u00a0 The privileges<\/strong> of having spiritual gifts through the distribution from the Holy Spirit belongs to all of us.\u00a0 The privileges of ruling the world to come and judging the angels belongs to all of us, not just the men (1 Cor. 6:2, 3)\u00a0 The privileges of servanthood and giving of ourselves for the benefit of the body of Christ belongs to all of us.\u00a0 We are all sons, all heirs, all equal.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/strivetoenter.com\/wim\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/king-praying.jpg?resize=160%2C245&ssl=1\" "\\"king-praying\\"")
<\/p>\n
When we all come into unity of the knowledge of our equality of inheritance, we will not hold some back because they do not have the same equality in the body of Christ.\u00a0 All sons may teach, all sons may serve, all sons may inherit every part of the kingdom together.\u00a0 And women too are those sons!<\/p>\n
