We can be children of God today because 1) Christ is the Beneficiary of God’s Promise to Abraham, 2) The Purpose of the Law was to bring us to Christ, and 3) We Put on Christ in Baptism. Each hearer should know that to be a child of God, we must be in Christ; to do that, we must identify with Christ in baptism.
Authentic Christianity Means Justification by Faith because 1) Christians Received the Spirit by Faith, 2) Abraham Was Justified by Faith, 3) The Prophets Confirm It, 4) Christ Died for It. Each person should understand that we are justified by faith in Christ. I want to encourage each person to trust in Christ for justification/righteousness.
