Galatians | Week 4 | Pastor Jermaine Stewart | 06/26/22
This week Pastor Jermaine continued with our series on Galations with a message out of Chapter 2, verses 15-21. Justified by Faith.
Pastor begins the message by setting up the scene: the Jewish teachers had come into Galatia and began teaching old Jewish law to the church. In this passage, Paul comes in to tell the church of Galatia that Jesus has done it all and there is nothing we could do to add to our salvation, like the Jewish leaders were saying.
Verse 16: “We have been justified by faith in Jesus Christ, not by works of the law.”
Justification: Legal term, duty of the court to give justice.
Acquit: to relieve from a charge of fault or crime; to be deemed not guilty
Paul says the Torah and the old system of the law’s purpose was to expose his sin and the prevalence of sin in man.
Romans 8:3- “For what the law was unable to do, God sent His own son as a sin offering.”
Verse 18: Jesus’s death did away with the old system and the law. His work on the cross satisfied the Father’s justice and righteousness. There is a new covenant- we are now one with each other and with Christ because he tore the veil of the old law and created a new covenant. We have died to the law when Jesus died on the cross and are now alive in Jesus Christ.
Verse 20: “I have been crucified in Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”
Verse 21: “I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for nothing.”
There is no religious duty or sets of moral guidelines we could follow that would make us righteous, except Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross.
Pastor closes with the story of the thief on the cross in Luke’s Gospel. Jesus is suffering on the cross, feeling the weight of sin for the first time and He is praying for the ones who are beating Him. The thief next to Him asked Jesus if He was the Son of God, why won't He get them down? The other thief says, “this man is innocent, we deserve to be on this cross, Jesus, will you remember me in paradise?” And just like that, Jesus says he is justified and he will be with Him in paradise. Jesus saves and justifies the righteous requirements of God for us all.
