Relating with GODbeyond the Rules Episode 1: ITS ALL BASED ON GRACE (Galatians 1:1-10) www.worshipharvest.org
Galatians 1: 1-10 1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead), 2 and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age,
according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. 6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. NKJV
Galatians 1: 1-2 • 1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead), 2 and all the brethren who are with me, • To the churches of Galatia: • Our purpose and achievements are totally dependent on JESUS and God the father • There is nothing for us to boast about.
Galatians 1: 3-5 3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Romans 5:1,2 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God WE RECEIVE BOTH GRACE AND PEACE, SIMPLY THROUGH FAITH
JESUS – GOD’S SOLUTION BY GRACE 1.Through the obedience of Jesus, God has once and for all dealt with sin and delivered us from this present evil age 2.We are delivered from this evil world into grace and peace 3.For any problem that we face, (sin, lack, etc) the solution is Christ. All else ignores God’s provision for salvation 4.This was God’s idea, all man can do is receive it humbly by faith
Galatians 1:6-7 6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. REJECTING GRACE IS TURNING AWAY FROM GOD THE FATHER What is not Grace is NO Gospel at all ADDING THE LAW PERVERTS GRACE
Acts 15: 1-2 And certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved." 2 Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.
Acts 15: 5 5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses." Acts 15:10-11 10 Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ* we shall be saved in the same manner as they." NKJV 2 Corth 3:6 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit;* for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. THE LAW IS NO GOSPEL AT ALL, IT KILLS. NO ONE CAN FULFILL IT!!!
Galatians 1:8-9 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. NKJV RULES & LEGALISM LEADS TO DOOM FOR NONE CAN FULFILL THE LAW
Gal 3:10-12 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."* 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for "the just shall live by faith."* NKJV
Galatians 1:10 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. NKJV 1 Thessalonians 2:4 4 But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts. NKJV
GRACE IS WHAT MAKES RELATING WITH GOD POSSIBLE. What Jesus Christ accomplished for us IS COMPLETE!!! Our relationship with God is BASED on His grace through Jesus Christ. NO RULES!!!
