   Galatians 6: Two Choices

4. Jude 1:3 Beloved I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints Paul’s Message: A Perfect Gospel The Gospel of Christ is once for all Peter 1:2-3 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue
5. Paul’s Message: A Perfect Gospel Hebrews 1:1-2 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds The Gospel of Christ is once for all The Gospel's revelation is only from Christ
6. 2 Choices: Christ or Moses Law of Moses: 10 Commandments, etc Promise of Moses: The Promised Land All covenants are a Law and a Promise Law of Christ: New Testament Promise of Christ: Grace
7. Galatians 3:17-18 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 2 Choices: Christ or Moses All covenants are a Law and a Promise Pertaining to the Law of Moses: There was no promise remaining Zechariah 11:9 Deuteronomy 30:19 A second promise had nullified it
8. 2 Choices: Christ or Moses All covenants are a Law and a Promise Pertaining to the Law of Moses: There was no promise remaining Paul explains this with three allegories Hagar the slave, Mt. Sinai, Jerusalem Sarah the free, Mt Zion, the church
9. 2 Choices: Flesh or Spirit Christ or Moses = the flesh or the spirit We can choose the flesh by serving it We can choose the spirit by selflessness This is the Liberty of the Law of Christ Serving God Serving Man James 2:12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.
10. Romans 13:8-10 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.….Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Fulfill the Law of Christ Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.“ The Law of Christ is fulfilled in Love Love bears one another’s burdens We are commanded to aid all men James 2:8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well;
11. Our Own Load Our own load = our own salvation Matthew 11:30: Take the yoke of Christ Philippians 2:12: Work out your own salvation
12. Our Own Load Our own load = our own salvation Matthew 11:30: Philippians 2:12: Self-examination What we sow is what we reap
13. What Avails Us Nothing we do can create our salvation Christ has done the work We must confirm ourselves to Him There can be no pride in being in Christ
14. Conclusion of Galatians Nothing compares to the adoption by Grace -Nothing worth exchanging it When we turn to other acts of righteousness -We are exchanging our salvation Only in Christ’s pattern is salvation This pattern is seen in love for our fellows
