Praise the LORD------Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,---Who delights greatly in His commandments.--Following this Psalm's command to praise the Lord we see the definition and the state of the man who fears the Lord, of the one who delights greatly in God's commands.

Galatians 3-7-9

Galatians 2- 20-21--I have been crucified with Christ- it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me- and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. -I do not set aside the grace of God- for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.-

Psalm 19 provides us with understanding of two of the manners in which God speaks to us-through His creation and through His revealed Word. In 1 John 4 we are reminded of God's third -book of revelation-, His Son who is the Word.

This topical sermon taken primarily from Galatians 1 and 2 explores the heresy in the church in Galatia-a false gospel claiming that to follow Christ one must be tied to and dependent on the law rather than faith. This false gospel leads Paul to exclaim- -You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law- you have fallen from grace.- -Galatians 5-4-. He calls us to -stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free,and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.- -Galatians 5-1-

The proof is in the pudding. Jesus Christ blesses men, makes them different. He makes them walk according to the counsel of God. Galatians 1-24- -And they glorified God in me.-
