Galatians 5:1–6 sets before the church both a command and a warning: stand fast in the liberty Christ has secured, and do not return to the bondage of law-keeping as a ground of justification. This sermon, the second in the passage, moves from verse 1 into verses 2–6, expositing Paul's argument that to submit to circumcision as a means of acceptance before God is to abandon Christ entirely and to become a debtor to the whole law. The relationship between faith, grace, and the hope of righteousness by the Spirit is brought to bear on the pastoral and doctrinal stakes of the Galatian error. Main points: - the command of liberty reviewed — two imperatives grounded in one indicative (v. 1) - the consequence of circumcision — Christ profits nothing and the whole law is owed (vv. 2–3) - estrangement from Christ and falling from grace — the gravity of seeking justification by law (vv. 4–5) - faith working through love — the true mark of those who wait for righteousness by the Spirit (v. 6) Scripture references: - Galatians 5:1-6 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-galatians-5-the-gospels-precious-liberty-part-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

This sermon provides a detailed exposition of Chapter 29 from the Baptist Confession of Faith, arguing exclusively for believer's baptism by immersion. The speaker outlines four key aspects of the ordinance: its nature as a New Covenant dominical sign, its proper recipients who must profess faith, the necessity of water and the Trinitarian formula, and the mode of full immersion. Drawing on covenant theology, federal headship, and the clarity of New Testament revelation, the text refutes infant baptism by emphasizing that only those united to Christ by faith can rightly receive this sign. The presentation maintains a scholarly and instructional tone, aiming to clarify Reformed Baptist distinctives against Paedo-Baptist traditions.
