Description

The evolution of God identity came through a two-fold process culminating in both justification as well as condemnation. Paul explained to the Galatian gentiles that the bondwoman, representing those under law, would be cast out. Therefore, do not give in to the Judaizers who were attempting to subject them to circumcision as part of their new identity. 

Paul now explains to the gentiles in Rome that the casting out of the old was to make way for the acceptance of the new on the basis of God as source of all human identity. God's final word was not casting out justification and condemnation. The final word was acceptance, reconciliation, and restoration of ALL things.
