Paul makes it clear in the Galatian letter that God links Mount Sinai with bondage to the law and Abram trying to accomplish God's will in his own fleshly effort. Legalism remains in the church world today and it is a deduction of godly behavior derived from from the Old Testament law given on Mount Sinai. Those legalists born of fleshly works and bondage will always hate those who are born of the Spirit. God gives us freedom in Christ for our faith in Him. Galatians 1-4. VF-0494. © Copyright 1986.
