In this message from our series, The Letters That Built the Church, we walk through Galatians 3 and confront a dangerous temptation in the Christian life: beginning with faith in Jesus, but then trying to finish through our own effort.
You did not earn your salvation, and you do not have to spend your life trying to prove that you deserve God’s love. Jesus took the curse, gave us His righteousness, and made us children of God through faith.
In this sermon, we explore:
• Why we must remember how we received Christ
• How faith has always been God’s plan
• The true purpose of God’s law
• What it means to find our identity in Christ
• How to keep moving forward when we fail or become discouraged
• Why obedience is the fruit of salvation, not the root of salvation
You do not have to return to guilt, comparison, legalism, or performance. Keep trusting Jesus. Get back up. Remember who you belong to. The One who began a good work in you will carry it to completion.
