Welcome back to Wednesday Night Bible Study! The lesson centers on the foundational truth that justification before God comes solely through faith in Jesus Christ, not through adherence to the law, as affirmed in Galatians 2:16 and reinforced throughout Scripture. It emphasizes that the law, while holy and good, reveals humanity's sinfulness and inability to achieve righteousness by works, thereby driving people to rely on Christ's perfect obedience and sacrificial death. The preacher underscores that any attempt to add human effort to faith nullifies the grace of God and undermines Christ's finished work, illustrating this through Paul's confrontation with Peter and the theological necessity of dying to the law in order to live to God. The message is both convicting and liberating, calling believers to rest in Christ's righteousness and to live out their new identity in Him, marked by the fruit of the Spirit and a transformed life rooted in grace rather than performance.
