Sunday
Morning: June 15, 2003
Text: Galatians 3:22-25 "But the
scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus
Christ might be given to them that believe. 23. But before faith came,
we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be
revealed. 24. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto
Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25. But after that
faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."
