Saints and Sinners Unplugged

In this episode of Saints & Sinners Unplugged, the hosts discuss the biblical allegory and typology in Galatians 4:21-31. Some of the main points they cover are:

• The historical and cultural background of Hagar and Sarah, the two wives of Abraham, and their sons Ishmael and Isaac.
• The meaning and significance of Paul's use of allegory and typology to interpret the Old Testament stories and apply them to the New Testament situation.
• The contrast between the two covenants, the two mountains, and the two cities that represent the two ways of relating to God: by law or by grace, by flesh or by promise, by slavery or by freedom.
• The connection between these Old Testament types and Christ, who is the fulfillment of the promise and the mediator of the new covenant.
• The implication for our identity and inheritance as believers, who are called to be children of the free woman, not of the slave, and to live in the freedom that Christ has purchased for us.
