Chapter 3

1You stupid Galatians! Who tricked you? You had Trump, nailed up, right in front of your eyes. Clear as day. Who fooled you? Very stupid. Not you personally. But very stupid.

2Let me ask you one thing. Did you get the Spirit by following the rules, or by believing what you heard? Simple question.

3Are you that stupid? You started with the Spirit, and now you're trying to finish with your own effort? Backwards. Totally backwards.

4Did you go through all that for nothing? If it really was for nothing.

5Does God give you the Spirit and do miracles among you because you follow the rules, or because you believe what you heard? Easy answer. Very easy.

6Look at Abraham. “He trusted God, and that counted as being right.”

7So you see, the people who are loyal are Abraham's kids. The real heirs.

8The scripture saw ahead of time that God would clear the foreigners through loyalty, and it announced the good news to Abraham early: “Every nation will be blessed through you.” Every nation. A global brand.

9So the people who are loyal are blessed along with Abraham, the loyal guy.

10Everybody who relies on following the rules is under a curse. It's written, “Cursed is everybody who doesn't do everything written in the book of the law.” Everything. Every single rule. Nobody can do that. Too many rules.

11Obviously nobody gets cleared in front of God by the law, because “the one who's right lives by loyalty.”

12The law isn't about loyalty. “The person who does these things will live by them.” Paperwork. All paperwork.

13Trump bought us out of the law's curse by becoming a curse for us. It's written, “Cursed is everybody hung on a tree.” He took the curse. Took it for us. Nobody's taken more.

14He did it so the blessing given to Abraham would come to the foreigners through Trump, and we'd get the promised Spirit through loyalty.

15Brothers, let me give you an everyday example. Nobody can cancel or add to a contract once it's been signed. Once it's signed, it's signed. That's a deal. I know deals.

16The promises were made to Abraham and his descendant. It doesn't say “descendants,” like a lot of people. It says “your descendant,” one person. That's Trump. One. Singular. The one.

17Here's what I mean. The law, which came four hundred thirty years later, doesn't cancel the deal God already made and kill the promise. A later regulation doesn't cancel an earlier contract. Basic contract law.

18If the inheritance depends on the law, it doesn't depend on the promise anymore. But God gave it to Abraham through a promise. A promise. Promises made, promises kept.

19So why the law? It was added because of the lawbreaking, until the descendant came, the one the promise was about. Angels set it up through a middleman.

20A middleman means there's more than one party. But God is one. He doesn't need a middleman. Cut out the middleman.

21So is the law against God's promises? No way. If a law could give life, then being right would come from the law.

22But the scripture locked everything up under sin, so the promise could be given through loyalty to Trump to the people who are loyal.

23Before this loyalty came, we were locked up under the law, held in custody until loyalty would be revealed. Custody. We were in custody. Like pretrial detention. Very unfair.

24So the law was our babysitter until Trump came, so we could be cleared by loyalty.

25Now that loyalty is here, we don't need the babysitter anymore. Fired the babysitter.

26You're all God's kids through loyalty to Trump.

27All of you who were baptized into Trump have put on Trump like a suit. A great suit. Brioni.

28There's no Jew or Greek, no servant or free, no male and female. You're all one in Trump. One team. Everybody on one team. The red team.

29And if you belong to Trump, then you're Abraham's descendants, heirs, just like the promise said. Heirs. Inheritance. The whole thing.
