You did not begin by grace to finish by grit.
In Galatians 3:1–5, the Apostle Paul confronts believers who began their Christian lives by faith but were being deceived into depending upon religious works. In this KJV Bible message, Pastor Keith Seiber examines the danger of false teaching, the sufficiency of Christ's finished work, and the Holy Spirit's power in Christian living.
Through three powerful truths, The Spell, The Sight, and The Spirit, we discover how easily believers can drift from grace into performance-based Christianity.
Paul asks, “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” — Galatians 3:3
The Christian life is not about earning God's acceptance through religious effort. The same God who saved us by grace continues His work in us through His Spirit.
This message also explores the danger of spiritual deception, the importance of keeping our eyes on Christ crucified, the security of salvation, and the loving discipline of our heavenly Father.
Grace did not merely get you started. God supplies what you need to keep growing.
Stop looking at your performance. Look again to the cross.
You did not begin by grace to finish by grit.

Abraham looked forward. We look back. But it has always been the same God, the same faith, and the same Savior.
Were people in the Old Testament saved differently than believers today?
In Galatians 3:6–9, Pastor Keith Seiber demonstrates that salvation has always been by God's grace through faith—not by keeping the Law, religious ceremonies, or good works.
Using Abraham's remarkable testimony, this KJV Bible message explores four powerful truths:

Credited: Abraham believed God, and righteousness was counted to him.

Children: All who believe share Abraham's blessing through faith, while God's promises to Israel remain intact.

Christ Preached Beforehand: The Gospel was promised long before Bethlehem, pointing forward to Jesus Christ.

Company: Believers today are blessed alongside faithful Abraham.

“And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” — Genesis 15:6
Discover why the Old and New Testaments proclaim one way of salvation, how Abraham's covenant points to Calvary, and why the Church has not replaced Israel in God's prophetic plan.
The promises are distinct. The way of salvation is one.
Abraham looked forward to God's promised Redeemer. We look back to Christ's finished work.
Same God. Same faith. Same Savior.

From terror to grace—that's the power of Christ's blood. At Mount Sinai, God's holiness was terrifying. At Mount Zion, He welcomes us without fear. How? Through Jesus, our Mediator. His blood doesn't cry for justice like Abel's—it cries for mercy. It declares your sin is paid in full.

The only way from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion is through Mount Calvary.
In Hebrews 12:18–24, Pastor Keith Seiber traces the Gospel through three mountains: Mount Sinai, Mount Zion, and Mount Calvary.
At Sinai, we see the holiness of God, the weight of the Law, and the terror of sinful man standing before a righteous God. Israel trembled before the mountain because God's perfect standard exposed their need for redemption.
At Zion, the scene changes completely. Believers have come to “the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,” where the redeemed, the angels, and the saints of God gather in His presence.
But how do sinners move from the fear of Sinai to the joy of Zion?
Through Calvary.
Hebrews 12:24 points us to “Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
Abel's blood cried out for justice. Christ's blood speaks mercy. His sacrifice satisfied the judgment of God, paid our sin debt, and opened the way into the presence of God.
Sinai shows us our guilt.Calvary shows us our Savior.Zion shows us our destination.
There is no other way from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion but through Mount Calvary.
Have you come to Christ? Or are you still standing at the foot of Sinai trying to reach God by your own righteousness?

Christ did not die so I could live for me. He died so He could live in me.
In Galatians 2:16–21, Paul takes us to the heart of the Gospel: justification by faith, our crucifixion with Christ, and the new life we now live in Him.
CLEARED: Justification is not a feeling—it is God's verdict. We are not declared righteous by keeping the law, being religious, or trying harder, but through faith in Jesus Christ. The verdict is in. The case is closed.
CRUCIFIED: Paul declares, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live.” The Christian life is not the old you trying harder to become better. The old man was crucified with Christ so that we might “live unto God.”
CLAIMED: “Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” Jesus did not merely save us for Heaven and leave us to struggle alone until we arrive. He lives in us. Our lives now belong to the One “who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
COSTLY: Grace is free to us, but it cost Christ everything. Paul therefore declares, “I do not frustrate the grace of God.” We must not try to add our works to Christ's finished work—or receive His grace and then live as though His death cost nothing.
Christ did not die in vain. And Christ did not die so I could live for me. He died so He could live in me.
Are you still trying to earn what Jesus already purchased? Are you staring at your failures instead of looking to Christ?
Look up. Look to Jesus. Look and live.

According to His mercy, He saves us. God does not lower the standard; He meets it in His Son. On the cross, our sins were credited to Christ, and His righteousness was credited to us.
