Pauls Letter to the Galatians 2:15-21
Text: Galatians 2:15-21
Title: “Authentic Gospel Faith”
Introduction:
I’ve chosen the passage 15-21 to speak to you this morning. The context in chapter 2 is about the Truth of the Gospel, This prompted Paul’s visit to Jerusalem vs. 4 and vs. 5. It prompted Paul to oppose Peter to his face vs.14. And preserving the Truth of the Gospel is what prompts Paul to lay out in vs. 15-21. Let’s be encouraged this morning as we look at the heart of Authentic Gospel Faith.
Authentic Gospel Faith is centred in Christ and the Cross. Vv16, vv20-21 (Hebrews 12:2; John 3:18; John 9:35; John 11:27; John 20:31)
Authentic Gospel Faith Justifies.
(It Is given by Grace and is obtained by Faith)
Vv16, Rom 3:24; Acts 13:39; Romans 5:1:
Authentic Gospel Faith brings us into a new life and a new way of living. Vv20 and vv21;
Authentic Gospel Faith is ALL that is needed. Vv16 & vv18.
Conclusion:
All that has been accomplished by Jesus has been accomplished, there is no further work of redemption, no further work of cleansing, nothing else that can bring you into God’s presence, only faith in Christ.
