In Galatians 3:15-22, Paul uses the analogy of a human contract to explain the enduring nature of God's promise to Abraham. This promise made out of God's grace, remains unalterable despite the later introduction of the law. The law, given 430 years after the promise, served as a temporary guardian to highlight humanity's need for a savior until Christ, the promised Seed, came. This passage reassures us that salvation and righteousness come through faith in Jesus Christ, not adherence to the law. As believers, we are called to rest in God's unchanging promise, live by faith, and share the hope of His grace with others.
