Galatians 3: 1-14
BIG IDEA: The Gospel frees us from living like we have to earn salvation.
THE GOPEL FREES US FROM EARNING
1. We begin by faith, not by performance (vs 1-5). Effort is not the enemy, earning is.
2. Faith has always been God’ way (vs 6-9). We are justified by faith, not by works.
3. Performance can never make us right with God (vs 10-12). Our faith is counted as righteousness.
4. Jesus accomplished what we can never do. (vs 13-14). Our debt is paid in full. You cannot earn what Jesus has already secured | “It is finished”.
Three questions to move beyond Sunday:
1. Are you still trying to make payments on God’s grace? You cannot pay for a gift.
2. What is motivating your obedience? Obey out of love, not out of obligation.
3. Where do I need to depend on the Spirit instead of yourself? Examine yourself daily, learn to be transparent before God.
