GALATIANS 5:1

(Gal 5:1 KJV) "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."

  1. STAND FAST IN THE LIBERTY
  1. The word "therefore" indicates this is based on arguments in chapter 4.
  2. Liberty
  1. The Old Law could not save and therefore brought bondage to sin and Satan but the gospel is freedom from Satan (Gal. 2:16, Rom. 3:10, 23, Rom. 6:23, Rom. 6:17-18)
  1. Is it any wonder the gospel is called the "perfect law of liberty (Jam. 1:25)?
  1. BE NOT ENTANGLED AGAIN
  1. To be entangled is to be ensnared.
  2. A yoke is a coupling. We are not to let ourselves be trapped so that we are again coupled with sin.

Eph. 5:11

  1. THE BONDAGE

A. The bondage in this context is explained in the previous allegory in Galations 4:21-31
