Both believed in the promise, which Galatians calls the Gospel. This promise of salvation through faith in God’s plan of redemption is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, who is the ultimate Seed of the Woman and the promised Messiah.

It is a framework for understanding the distinction between the prophetic program that focuses on Israel and the mystery of Christ as presented by Paul.

We are those who are presenting ourselves (in Him) as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable (which is our reasonable service of worship) (Rom 12:1-4). We are holy because of our union with Christ and our contact with the altar.
