Abundant Life Sermons

Religious legalism says, “If I do enough good things, then God will finally accept me.” But the gospel says something completely different. In this message from Galatians 2:1–16, we see Paul confront a false gospel that added Old Testament law—specifically circumcision—to faith in Christ, and we discover why God hates that kind of religion. You’ll learn three reasons God opposes religious legalism: it focuses on outward works instead of Christ’s inward work, it pulls those God has freed back into religious captivity, and it produces hypocrisy instead of authenticity. Walking through Galatians 2 and the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, this message will encourage you to rest in the finished work of Jesus and to stop living like you still have to earn what Christ has already given.
