THE GOSPEL    

     Part 2  

  Verses from Galatians  

HOW DO WE KNOW WE ARE JUSTIFIED?   

Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, 
because 'The righteous will live by faith.' 

So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. 

A man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.

The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love. 

WHAT SHOULD WE DO? 

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; serve one another in love.  

Those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the sinful nature...its passions and desires.

The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 

Carry each other's burdens, and...you will fulfill the law of Christ. 

Live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 

The gospel I preached is not something that man made up.

I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
