Charles Spurgeon Commentary Galatians 3:8-11

"And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, [saying,] In thee shall all the nations be blessed. So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them. Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith;" — Galatians 3:8-11 (ASV)

Among the pagans, there were various "lucky" and "unlucky" days; sacred days, and days in which they indulged in sensual excess. They had even "holy" months and "unholy" months. Now, all that kind of thing is done away with for a Christian: he is set free from such weak and beggarly superstitions. Among the Jews, there were certain sacred festivals, times that were more notable than other seasons; but they also were done away with in Christ.

We observe the Christian Sabbath; but beyond that, to the true believer, there should be no special observance of days, and months, and years. All that is a return to the weak and beggarly elements from which Christ has delivered him. That bondage is all ended now; but there are some who still observe days, and months, and times, and years; and Paul says to them, I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. Every day is holy, every year is holy, to a holy man; and every place is holy, too, to the man who brings a holy heart into it.
