This story teaches something else: The two women are like the two agreements between God and his people. One agreement is the law that God made on Mount Sinai, and the people who are under this agreement are like slaves. The mother named Hagar is like that agreement. She is like Mount Sinai in Arabia and is a picture of the earthly city of Jerusalem. This city and its people are slaves to the law.

Many Christians feel the frustration of persistent sin, undesirable circumstances, and the stubborn feeling of having fallen behind. The doubts that arise from these experiences find their Gospel rebuttal in Romans 8:1: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Remind yourself of the far-reaching implications of this radical promise for your life now and in eternity.

Are you caught up in doing good deeds, but missing the gospel of faith? Are you feeling discouraged by faith based in works? Paul addresses this exact issue in Galatians and explores the foundational truth of the freedom of faith in Jesus Christ. Galatians offers a celebration of the freedom of grace and re-centers your focus on the law of love in God in three parts: the gospel of grace defined, the gospel of grace examined and the gospel of grace applied.
Waiting is a fundamental part of the human journey, marked by tension between hope and uncertainty. In this devotional, we will walk alongside Abraham, a man who walked through his own long season of waiting to see God’s promises fulfilled. Through his story, we’ll discover what to expect and how to grow as we navigate our own seasons of waiting on God’s promises. And ultimately, we'll see how Jesus himself—the true offspring of Abraham—brings deeper meaning to our waiting, standing as the final fulfillment of God's promises to all who follow in Abraham’s footsteps of faith.
