(Part 2 of 2) The Law vs Faith in Jesus. This subject is a framework Pastor Tippin will use for todays discussion and break down of Galatians chapters 3 and 4. There are so many arguments, some even in the comments of our videos, about the nature of works versus grace. In this video Pastor Tippin will put those arguments to rest, at least on our end. For clarity, God’s word is very clear no work of man, no adherence to law, gains us salivation. Only through the grace of Christ do we have the opportunity to be saved. Only by believing on Jesus will we obtain this grace. No works will ever earn us this gift. we will never be worthy. However, once we are His, we will do His works. Jesus Himself declares this in John 14:23-24 “Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words;” We have to keep His Word. Do what he commands us. So there is no works we can do to earn God’s grace. But once we have it, we will do Jesus’s will or we are not His. Pastor Tippin will speak on this issue but also read and break down other issues and concepts the Holy Spirit brings to our attention, through the hand of Paul, here in Galatians chapter 3 through 4.
We will be reading sections of Galatians in this episode. Please remember what we call Galatians is a singular letter written by the Holy Spirit through the hand of the apostle Paul, meant to be read in its entirety. While it is not viable to do a real in-depth study of the whole letter at once in this format, we encourage you read the whole letter to truly understand the full context of which this episode speaks.
And in ALL your biblical reading, ask yourself three questions about what your reading:
1. What is God revealing to me about Himself?
2. What is God revealing about His plan for my life?
3. Having answered questions 1 and 2, what am I going to do about it?
All of us have needed help, Godly leadership, and advice, at one time or another. If you need help in your walk with Christ, or need a better understanding of how to navigate your path in this sinful world, in a way pleasing to Christ, please contact us.
