We sharpen up on Paul’s use of Abraham’s family story to show the difference between earning God’s favor and receiving God’s promise. We walk from Genesis to Galatians to Jesus and land on the freedom that comes from trusting Christ’s finished work. 
• Scripture as the sword of the Spirit and our weapon for the fight 
• Why we do not unhitch from the Old Testament and how it points to Jesus 
• Paul’s allegory of Hagar and Sarah as two covenants: slavery versus freedom 
• Abraham’s faith counted as righteousness and God’s promise to bless the world 
• The danger of impatience and taking matters into our own hands 
• Why religious activity cannot make us right with God 
• Salvation by faith in Jesus and the finished work of Christ 
Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review.
