Message: “Stand Firm in the Gospel of Grace” from Mike Bird

The Power of Faith

As we have been working through chapter 3 Paul has been giving us point after point that a person can only be accepted by God through faith in the gospel. Keeping the Old Testament law is not necessary, and Paul has been reaching back into the OT to prove this. If you have just joined us Paul is addressing the issue of legalism that one must keep the law to be accepted by God. It’s not Jesus + the law or Jesus + circumcision but rather Jesus + nothing. Pauls argument is: faith in Jesus and Jesus alone. Today, Paul is going to tell us what that faith does to us. What happens when we believe in Jesus alone by faith? When we truly believe, what happens to us?

Scripture References: Galatians 3:23-29

From Series: "Galatians "Freedom Through Christ""

In this series, we will explore the rich treasures that we have in Christ through the Gospel. The Galatian believers had deserted the true Gospel and turned to another gospel. The believers in Galatia were being influenced by a Jesus + law gospel.
