Gal 3:26 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for Gal 3:26-29: 3:26-29 Because of Christ, our condition under faith contrasts with our condition under the law (3:23-24 ). 3:26 Those who are children of God through faith in Christ Jesus (see also 4:4-7 ; John 1:12 ; Rom 9:8 ) have come of age as heirs of his promises (see Gal 3:24-25 , 29 ) and have received the down payment of that inheritance (3:14 ; Eph 1:14 ). The Galatians were foolish (Gal 3:1 ) in trying to gain access to God through circumcision. As God’s children by faith, they already had the best possible access to God.
