  3. Overview of Galatians The Law (of Moses) |God's instructions concerning the moral, social, and spiritual behavior of his people found in the first five books of the Bible. The law reveals sin |It was a covenant of works between God and man and was (and is) unable to deliver us into eternal fellowship with the Lord because of man's inability to keep it

  4. Overview of Galatians Grace |Grace is unmerited favor. It is God's free action for the benefit of his people |God's Riches At Christ's Expense |Grace rules out all humanmerit. Given by God through faith

  5. Overview of Galatians The flesh |A life lived before God without dependence on the Spirit |Flesh naturally aligns itself with the law because the one who wants to be governed by the law doesn’t live with dependence on Christ and in the Spirit

  6. Overview of Galatians Legalism |Adherence to the law of Moses as a necessary step in being pleasing to God |An abandonment of the Holy Spirit as God’s way of guiding Christian ethics |Modern-day legalism is the legislation of any specific Christian practice (in order to be right before God)

  7. Overview of Galatians Legalism vs. Spiritual Disciplines |One is self-reliant, the other relies on Jesus |Self-righteousness vs Christ-righteousness |Legalism is a state of the heart and not necessarily what you do or don’t do

  9. Galatians 1:1-9 A different gospel |God-is-who-I-want-Him-to-be gospel |Half-truth gospel God is Love Grace God is Judge Law Salvation is free Discipleship is costly

  10. Galatians 1:1-9 A different gospel |God-is-who-I-want-Him-to-be gospel |Half-truth gospel |The Gospel resides in between the misuse of grace and the misuse of the Law

  11. Galatians 1:1-9 A different gospel |Anything that supplants the sufficiency of Christ and the power the Holy Spirit plays in our life! |Anything that supplants the dependency on the Spirit of God in our life!
