2025-09-28: Galatians – Freedom’s Power
Speaker: Pastor Val Watkins
Scripture Text: Galatians 2:11-21
Galatians
Freedom’s Power
Galatians 2:11-21
The rules are good, but they don’t make us better people, do they? If anything, they just make us feel guilty when we don’t follow through.
When we try to make ourselves look good by following a list of rules, then we divide ourselves from one another.
When we try to make ourselves look good by following a list of rules, then we divide ourselves from one another and it causes a lot of hurt.
Trying to abide by any external standard does nothing to change us on the inside.
We don’t make ourselves better people by trying to follow a list of rules. In fact, we make ourselves worse! We divide ourselves. We deceive ourselves. And we deny the gospel.
So if you truly want to become a better person, don’t trust a law; Trust the Lord! Put your faith in Christ.
—
If you want to find true righteousness before God, if you want to hit a homerun with Him, if you truly want to be a better person, then don’t depend on a list of rules; instead depend on the Lord.
