The Word of God confronts Christians who are not living in step with the gospel.
a) Another Visit to Jerusalem (Galatians 2:1-5)b) The Agreement in Jerusalem (Galatians 2:6-10)c) A Conflict with Peter (Galatians 2:11-14)d) Justified by Faith (Galatians 2:15-21)
Obedience to the law can never make a person right before God, but the faith that saves produces works that conform to the law.
For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. — Galatians 2:19-20 CALL OUT: Today, I'd like to call out Chuck Peter from Roseville, MN, who yesterday marked his third year using our devotionals for his weekly Zoom meeting with his guys. It's my privilege to be a part of your group every week. Galatians 2:20 is undoubtedly one of the great verses of this chapter and the entire letter. Paul's point is that all our actions are futile. The law proved it. Our best actions on our best days were insufficient to reconcile our relationship with God. We needed the perfect action of a perfect man, Jesus, God's Son. Through his perfect work and his sacrifice for us on the Cross, we live. But from this point forward, it's not our life we live. It's his life. The life I live is a life lived by faith—faith that both saves and sustains—faith that saves me from eternal damnation and sustains me while I am still in the flesh. Thus, it is pointless to accept salvation by faith and then live my life by my works (which is what the false teachers were teaching). Instead, I should accept salvation by faith and live his life (not mine) by faith in his work (not mine). So here is the call to action for us based on this text: We wake up, look in the mirror, and say aloud in faith, “I will not live by my power today because I am dead, and Jesus lives through me.” Say it aloud throughout the day; believe it because it is the truth. #FaithInChrist #SurrenderedLife #LivingByFaith #ChristInMe #GraceOverWorks ASK THIS: How does the concept of "dying to self" and allowing Christ to live through us challenge your approach to daily decisions and interactions? Reflecting on your own journey of faith, what practical steps can you take to shift from relying on your own efforts to embracing Christ's life within you on a daily basis? DO THIS: Say aloud, “I will not live by my power today because I am dead, and Jesus lives through me.” PRAY THIS: Father, I humbly surrender my life to You, acknowledging my inability to save myself and embracing the transformative power of Christ living within me. Help me walk in faith each day, trusting in Your grace and allowing Your Spirit to guide my every step. Amen. PLAY THIS: Give Me Faith.
The Spirit is both the gift of faith and the agent of faith. We receive him by faith, and he grants the very faith by which we receive him.
Neither the beginning, nor the middle, nor the end of the Christian life is left untouched by the saving might of the Spirit.
Justification By Faith Galatians 2:15-21 Speaker: Weston Brown Series: Galatians More info @ covenantshreveport.org
What is saving faith? Historically, the answer has included three basic elements: knowing, assenting, and trusting.
Justified by Faith | Galatians 2:15-21 | 04/02/24 | Matt Chapman by Grace Church Bristol
Galatians 5v6 - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the Law or by hearing with faith?
Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 2:16
IN OUR NEW SERIES AUSTIN TAKES US THROUGH THE LETTER TO THE GALATIANS where in this episode we stop and ask the question: WHAT IS FAITH? Faith is often interpreted to be mere belief, but what if Paul described faith as more than just wishful thinking? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/into-the-fray/message

Midweek In-Depth Bible Study
Sunday sermon by Glenn Petruzzi, on August 6, 2023
Galatians is one of the most popular Bible studies in history because Paul waxes philosophical, but at the same time it's one of his most clear and concise letters. Paul doesn't mince words and he gives one of the clearest view of our freedom from sin and the gospel message in his letter to the dear children of the faith in what we now know as central Turkey.A much more positive and aspirational book, Colossians is Paul's letter to another church in modern-day Turkey. He shares with them the hope of the good news of Jesus and warns them to stay far away from the trappings of sin. This is a great way to round out our study—with the great hope of the gospel.-----------LINKS----------Support 10WB on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/10weekbibleThe 10 Week Bible - http://www.10WeekBible.comTwitter: @DarrenHibbs - https://twitter.com/DarrenHibbsSign up for my newsletter - http://www.darrenhibbs.comGet a copy of the 10 Week Bible Study today - https://www.amazon.com/Darren-Hibbs/e/B00B4I47CE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl2&tag=darrenhcom0a-20&linkId=401f3d79974c70929517936977e32df9My other YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUU0XHSHuhSyN8qk-7efYgSupport the show

#081 This is our first of eight episodes in our eleventh mini-series. This mini-series is entitled, Mystery of Christ | Galatians to 2 Thessalonians. On this episode we're going to overview Galatians which has been noted as the single most important book that fueled the reformation of the church. Now to the book of Galatians. Galatians was the key text that fueled the reformation of the church and its seminal doctrine of justification by grace through faith. Both Martin Luther and John Wesley noted the significant impact of this epistle on their lives and ministries. Paul wrote the letter to the church in Galatia either from Ephesus between 53-56 A.D. or from Macedonia in 56 A.D. Many scholars consider the book of Galatians as a condensed version of Paul's epistle to the Romans. Paul is believed to have written the book of Romans from Corinth in 57 A.D. The location of the church receiving the letter in Galatia is not known as Galatia refers to a Roman political province in southern Asia Minor; the northern Mediterranean coast of the country of Turkey today. Paul visited this area planting churches on his first missionary journey with Barnabas. And again, returned to this area on his second and third missionary journeys.The issue Paul was addressing in this letter were problems being raised in the church by the false teaching of Judaizers. These Judaizers were Jewish believers who sincerely believed a gentile had to become a Jew first, be circumcised, and then having faith in Jesus follow the law of Moses. They were instructing the Galatian believers to give up their freedom in Christ and return to bondage the Jews had lived with under the law. Paul adamantly rejects this false gospel of works and demonstrates that justification is by grace through faith, apart from works of the law.The epistle is only six chapters and can be divided into three sections. In Chapters 1 and 2, Paul defends the gospel of grace. He explains the gospel of grace in Chapters 3 and 4. And finally, he describes how the gospel of grace is applied in Chapters 5 and 6. With all this an as introduction, let's get started with our overview of the book.
Freedom is the cry of the human heart. Well, the only path to freedom runs directly through the cross of Christ Jesus! As Christians, we must exercise our freedom. Galatians 5:1-7
I love being right, like all the time, but what makes us right in God's eyes? Were you made right with God by doing good stuff? Were you justified (just as if I'd never sinned) by the works of the Law? No. Jesus has taken sin's curse upon Himself on the cross so we can be justified. We are declared righteous through faith in Jesus Christ. So why do some of us think of the Law? The righteous live by faith. Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on October 16, 2022, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.
In Galatians 2 we get to hear a little of the Apostle Paul's life and we even get to hear about an argument that Paul has with Peter. Peter was wrong. Peter sinned. I love that God doesn't hesitate to share people's failures to show God's forgiveness. We hear without a doubt, doing good stuff doesn't earn us justification. The Law's job is to kill us, so God can make us alive in Christ Jesus and declare us righteous in His eyes. God gets all the credit. Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on October 9, 2022, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.
Galatians 3:23-29

Galatians 3:22 in Greek reads: ἀλλὰ συνέκλεισεν ἡ γραφὴ τὰ πάντα ὑπὸ ἁμαρτίαν, ἵνα ἡ ἐπαγγελία ἐκ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δοθῇ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν. We can translate this as 'But the Scriptures shut up everything under sin, so that the promise from πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ might be given to those who are faithful.' The only phrase left untranslated in this sentence has led to a tremendous amount of scholarly sparring, which I myself have taken part in. It is the phrase ἐκ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, and the debate is called "the Pistis Christou debate". It centers around how to understand the relationship between the words 'pistis,' usually translated 'faith' or 'faithfulness,' and 'Jesus Christ.' Most translations translate this as 'faith in Jesus Christ.' This is called the objective genitive position. A significant portion of the scholarly world thinks it should be translated 'faithfulness of Jesus Christ.' This is called the subjective genitive position. Here, Dr. Kevin Grasso argues for a third view, translating the phrase as 'the Jesus-Christ-faith,' where it is the faith or message about Jesus the Christ that is being referred to. This is a bonus episode for our series on Key Terms in Pauline Theology. In this episode, Kevin dives into Galatians 3:22 to show how the Greek can help us better understand how these terms relate, and ultimately better understand the text.
