Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female : for ye are...

But after that faith is come,.... That is, since Christ the object of faith is come in the flesh, and has fulfilled the law, and redeemed them that were under it from its bondage, curse, and condemnation: we are no longer under a schoolmaster; under the law as such; as no longer under it as a military guard, nor in it as a prison, so neither under...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Now we go to Christ willingly, cheerfully, joyfully, trusting in him with all our hearts. The pedagogue’s work is done so far as we are concerned.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
For ye are all the children of God,.... Not by nature, as Christ is the Son of God, for he is the only begotten of the Father, and in such sense as neither angels nor men are the sons of God; nor by creation, as Adam and all mankind, and the angels are; but by divine adoption by an act of God's rich and sovereign grace, putting them among the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. You set forth that truth in your baptism; you then confessed that you were dead to sin, and declared that you were risen again in Christ to newness of life. Whatever you had to do with the law before, you were dead...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. We hear a great deal about the universal fatherhood of God, but it is all nonsense. There is no Scripture for it whatsoever. Those only are the children of God who are “the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. The fatherhood of God is common to all believers; but there is no universal fatherhood, as many teach it in these days.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ,.... Not that it is to be imagined that these churches of Galatia, or any of the primitive churches, consisted of baptized and unbaptized persons; for this would be acting contrary to the commission of Christ and the order of the Gospel: but this way of speaking supposes that there might be some...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. “He is everything to you. He covers you, he surrounds you. You do not stand before God in your own filthy rags, but you have put on Christ.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. May this be true of all of us, for Christ’s sake! Amen....
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
There is neither Jew nor Greek,.... Not but that there were such in being; and in the churches of Christ, for the primitive churches consisted of both; but the meaning is, that there is no difference between them, the middle wall of partition being broken down, and that, in the business of justification and salvation, it signified nothing whether...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. That settles the question; if you belong to Christ, you are the children of Abraham. Come then, and, without the least...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. What a mercy it is to be in Christ, so that you yourself are not seen any more, but only Christ, and you accepted in him!
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
For if ye be Christ's,.... Or seeing ye are his, not by creation only, but by the Father's gift to him, by the purchase of his own blood, by the power of his grace, making them willing to give up themselves to him; not only his by profession, saying they are the Lord's, calling themselves by his name; but by possession, Christ dwelling in their...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if ye be Christ’s, then ye are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. “According to the promise,” — not according to your works, or your deserts, but “heirs according to the promise.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. So that all the blessings which God promised to Abraham belong to you who are believers in Christ, and you may take them, and rejoice in them; but if ye are without faith in Christ, then are ye without the one essential thing which gives you an interest in the...
