It is not enough to profess faith in Christ, we must possess Christ through faith in order to be saved. 1) The Reality of Things Hoped For 2) The Danger of an Empty Profession

Galatians 5:1–6 marks a hinge in Paul's letter — moving from his theological defence of justification by faith alone into its exhortative implications. This sermon expounds the liberty that Christ has secured for his people, the grave danger of seeking justification through law-keeping, and the nature of the faith that works through love, contrasting evangelical freedom with the yoke of legal bondage. Main points: - the liberty the gospel gives and the command to stand fast in it - the peril of falling back into legal bondage — estrangement from Christ and the fall from grace - the true hope of righteousness through faith working by love Scripture references: - Galatians 3:1-29; 4:1-31; 5:1-6 - Romans 3:20-28; 8:1-4 - 1 Corinthians 7:19 - Philippians 3:2-9 - James 2:10 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-galatians-5-the-gospels-precious-liberty Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

This sermon examines Genesis 4 to illustrate the pervasive and corrupting nature of sin, which enters the human heart and destroys relationships. The preacher contrasts Cain's rejected worship with Abel's faithful offering, emphasizing that true acceptance by God requires wholehearted devotion rooted in faith. Sin is depicted as a predatory force crouching at the door, demanding mastery through Christ rather than self-effort. The narrative highlights the cosmic conflict between the seed of the woman and the serpent, culminating in Cain's murder of Abel. Ultimately, the message points to the superior efficacy of Jesus' blood, which speaks mercy and justification instead of condemnation, offering hope for guilty sinners.

Today's sermon addresses the biblical doctrine of divine rewards for faithful works, countering modern cultural skepticism with a robust theological framework. Distinguishes clearly between justification by faith alone and future rewards based on works, emphasizing that God's glory and human good are harmonious rather than conflicting goals. Drawing from Matthew 6 and historical Reformed confessions, Pastor Jason argues that believers should pursue holy living to glorify God and receive gracious encouragement, not to earn salvation. The message challenges both unbelievers to trust in Christ's generosity and Christians to serve with filial love rather than fear of condemnation. Ultimately, it affirms that while salvation is secure by grace, rewards reflect varying degrees of glory for those who diligently seek the Lord.

Sermon: The Gospel According to Abraham and David Sermon Text: Romans 4:1-8 Sermon Preached at Providence Presbyterian Church Evansville, IN This sermon expounds on the doctrine of justification by faith alone, using Abraham and David as primary examples from Romans 4. It emphasizes that righteousness is a free gift imputed to believers through Christ's work, not earned by human merit or works. The preacher highlights the double aspect of this truth: the positive imputation of Christ's righteousness and the negative removal of sin, which brings profound comfort and freedom from guilt. Believers are encouraged to cease striving for approval and instead rest in God's unconditional grace, allowing this secure standing to fuel joyful worship and holy living.

Sermon: The Gospel According to Abraham and David Sermon Text: Romans 4:1-8 Series: The Power of God for Salvation (Romans) This sermon expounds on the doctrine of justification by faith alone, using Abraham and David as primary Old Testament examples. It explains that righteousness is imputed to believers as a free gift of grace, not earned through works or merit. The preacher emphasizes that God does not keep a record of sins for those in Christ but covers them completely through His blood. This theological truth liberates Christians from the burden of trying to earn God's favor and encourages them to live with confidence in their secure standing before Him.

N.T.Wright rightly emphasises the important truth that God reveals himself and works by covenant.1 I heartily agree.2 „Covenant‟ is a key word in Scripture. But it is far more than a word. It is a vital concept. Consequently, to understand Scripture, we have to think in terms of „covenant‟, and think clearly. How sad it is then to find that Wright can be lax in his talk of „the covenant‟. I say „sad‟, but it is worse than that since his talk of „covenant faithfulness‟, „covenant status‟ and „covenant markers‟ plays such a massive role in his interpretation of what Paul said about justification.

Q: What was God's purpose for the Old Covenant if it could never save? A: God gave it as a temporary guardian to expose sin and lead sinners to Christ, where justification is found by faith alone.

In this lecture we begin our discussion of the doctrine of Justification.
