Two Peoples – One Way (Part 6)| Galatians 2:20

---------------------------- Sermon Outline--------------------------------

Introduction: The Biblical Use of the Word “Law” and Alternate Worlds

 * When it comes to the Mosaic Law we can look at in one of two ways:

    1. Universal, which reflects the immutable character of God

    2. Provisional, or laws given for a given time and situation

I. Essential Elements of the Gospel in Galatians (vv. 15-21)

    A. The Universal Nature of Sin (v. 15-16a)

    B. Justification Is by Faith Alone (v. 16)

    C. The Believer's Union With Christ (vv. 17-20)

        1. To be “In Christ” is not to be “In Sin” (17)

        2. To be "In Christ" is to have died to sin and the Law (18-19)

        3. To be "In Christ" is to have been crucified with Christ (20)

            a. Why does the Law have no further hold upon us? 

            b. What does it mean that the believer has been crucified with Christ?

            c. Spiritual reality is nonetheless reality (the problem with logical positivism)

            d. Crucifixion and death isn’t the end of the story

            e. The life of faith
