INTRODUCTION TO Galatians 3 In this chapter the apostle reproves the Galatians for their disobedience to the Gospel, and departure from it; confirms the doctrine of justification by faith, by various arguments; shows the use of the law, and the abrogation of it, and makes mention of several privileges which belong to believers in Christ.

Know ye therefore,.... Or "ye know"; this is a thing known by you, at least may, or should be; it ought not to be contradicted or disputed, it is so plain a case, and so clear a point: that they which are of faith; of the faith of Abraham, as in Romans 4:16 have the same faith as he had, for nature and kind; though it may not be to the same degree, yet exercised on the same object, Jehovah the...

These are only like Ishmael, who must be cast out of the chosen family; but the true children, the real Isaacs, are those who are...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. He was called the father of the faithful, therefore the faithful, those who believe as he did, and are full of his faith, are his children.
