Aim: To understand that Christ, and Christ alone, sets us free from everything that is opposed to the grace of God.
Exegesis: We need liberation from our mortal enemy (sin). Our best efforts are no match for sin (v. 21); sin is no match for our Savior (v. 22). We need liberation from our moral frustration (the law). We are enslaved because of original and actual sin (v. 23). We need liberation from our immature notions. We needed a spiritual ''nanny'' (v. 24); we now need a gospel understanding (v. 25).
Key verse: v. 22 ''But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.''
