In this episode, we focus on Galatians 6:15, where Paul underscores that “neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation.” Here, Paul speaks to the heart of the gospel: salvation is through faith alone, not by external rituals or observances. This leads us into a discussion on sacraments versus ordinances—are these practices necessary for salvation, or are they symbols of our faith and obedience? As we explore these ideas, we’ll see that while sacraments and ordinances hold an important place in Christian worship, they do not contribute to our salvation; rather, they point us back to the transformative power of grace.

In this episode, we focus on the call to restore each other in love as laid out in Galatians 6:1-5. Paul emphasizes the importance of helping one another when we fall into sin, doing so with gentleness and humility. Greg reminds us that the law exposes the seriousness of sin, but our true freedom in Christ is found in walking by the Spirit. As we live by the Spirit, we’re called to lovingly call out sin and support each other, reflecting Christ’s grace. This restoration isn't about judgment, but about helping one another stay faithful and not fall deeper into sin. It’s an expression of our love for each other, driven by the Spirit’s work in our lives.

In this episode of Footnotes, we're discussing the sermon from October 13, 2024, titled "Walk by the Spirit," which you can listen to here:

Listen to the Sermon

Greg discusses how the law reveals the depth of our sin, making sin utterly sinful, and how Galatians 5:16-26 teaches us that true freedom in Christ is not found in following the law, but in walking by the Spirit. This freedom leads us to serve others in love, as Galatians 5:13-15 explains. Loving our neighbor is not merely an emotion but a deliberate choice to seek their good, reflecting Christ’s heart. By living in the Spirit, our faith naturally expresses itself through love and good works—not as an attempt to fulfill the law, but as an overflow of the grace we've received in Christ.

As we grow in Christ, our faith naturally expresses itself through love and good works, not by following the law but by living out the grace we've received.

Greg dives into Galatians 5, highlighting how true freedom in Christ is found in faith working through love. He explains the distinction between justification—being declared righteous through faith alone—and sanctification, the ongoing work of God in our lives. Greg stresses that our sanctification is certain because God will complete the good work He began in us. Paul refutes the Judaizers, showing that salvation is not through the law, but by grace alone. As God sanctifies us, our faith naturally expresses itself in love and good works.

In Galatians 2:16-21, Paul emphasizes that we have been justified (using the aorist tense) through faith in Jesus Christ, not by the works of the law, illustrating that he has been crucified with Christ and now lives by faith in the Son of God. This passage highlights the futility of seeking righteousness through the law and underscores the necessity of faith in Christ for true justification, demonstrating that righteousness is granted through God's grace, not human efforts.
