Freedom in the Faith

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of ...?
Galatians 1
The theme of Galatians is the grace of God.
Today's message — Freedom in the Faith.
The author — Paul
His calling—an apostle
The Jewish legalists were accusing Paul of three things:
They said, “He was a false apostle.”
They charged that he preached a false gospel.
They claimed that Paul's gospel would produce a false righteousness.
His confirmation—The Apostles
The audience— “The churches at Galatia”
The argument—Freedom in the Faith
It is a work of grace.
The grace test:
People around me feel accepted by me, especially my family?
I know the difference between condemnation and conviction?
I am overwhelmed with God's love for me?
I relate to God as a child to a father rather than a slave to a master or student to a teacher?
The word “rest” would describe how I am on the inside most of the time.
When I explain the gospel, people sometimes ask, “Does this mean I can go out and sin?”
I realize the Ten Commandments are not for the Christian, but for the non-Christian.
I realize more and more I can do nothing without the indwelling Christ. “For to me to live is…?”
I believe the deepest desire of every Christian is to please God.
The marks of a Christian disciple are that:
1. They love Him (depend on Jesus). and
2. They love one another.
It is a work of God, by His grace.
