Faith Working Through Love

September 29, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Galatians 5:1–12

This Sunday, Greg looks at Galatians 5:1-12. In these verses, Paul addresses the issue of Jewish Christian teachers insisting that Gentile believers must follow the law of Moses in addition to faith in Christ for salvation. He argues that salvation comes by grace through faith in Christ alone, not by works of the law, as no one can be made righteous through their efforts. Paul emphasizes that Christ's death frees believers from the curse of the law, offering them a new life in freedom. As believers, we need to stand firm in this freedom and not submit again to the "yoke of slavery," symbolizing a return to the legalistic system of the law.
