Matthew Henry Commentary Galatians 3:26-29

"For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one [man] in Christ Jesus. And if ye are Christ`s, then are ye Abraham`s seed, heirs according to promise." — Galatians 3:26-29 (ASV)

Real Christians enjoy great privileges under the gospel; they are no longer accounted servants but sons, and are no longer kept at such a distance and under such restraints as the Jews were. Having accepted Christ Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, and relying on him alone for justification and salvation, they become the sons of God. But no outward forms or profession can secure these blessings; for if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

In baptism we put on Christ; by this we profess to be his disciples. Being baptized into Christ, we are baptized into his death, so that as he died and rose again, we also should die unto sin and walk in newness and holiness of life. The putting on of Christ according to the gospel consists not in outward imitation, but in a new birth, an entire change.

He who makes believers heirs will provide for them. Therefore, our care must be to do the duties that belong to us, and all other cares we must cast upon God. And our special care must be for heaven; the things of this life are but trifles. The city of God in heaven is the portion, or child's share.

Seek to be sure of that above all things.
