  7. Faith or Works? Being Right With God Galatians 2:14-21

  8. The Context • Peter grew up Kosher • Peter then ate with Gentiles • Peter went Kosher again • Peter forced Gentiles to be Kosher

  9. Key Terms • Dead – separated (relationally) • Alive – united (relationally) • Justified – made acceptable to God • Righteous – req’d to be acceptable

  10. Key Terms • Law – Mosaic Law (Mt. Sinai) • Conditional covenant between God and the Nation of Israel

  11. Jewish Thought (15) • We have the law • Because we have the law we are acceptable to God • Those without the law are ‘sinners’

  12. Jewish Christian Realization (16) • No one can be made acceptable to God by keeping the law • In order to be acceptable to God we must set aside the law and receive Christ’s righteousness by faith

  13. Judaizers’ Accusation (17) • Faith in Christ is leading you to break the law • Those who break the law are sinners • Therefore, Christ is a minister of sin

  14. Peter’s Problem (18) • Being acceptable to God comes by faith, not the law • These Jews keep the law • I want them to like me, so I will act like I keep the law

  15. So What? • Am I afraid of what people think? • Who do I love: you or me? • Ex: holding the door open • My response to your response

  16. So What? • Am I afraid of what people think? • Prov. 29:25 • Gal. 1:10 • Eph. 6:5-8

  17. Peter’s Problem (18) • Law: Distinction (Jews / Gentiles) • Faith: No Distinction (one in Christ) • Law: Distinction (Jews / Gentiles) • Violated the truth of the gospel! (14)

  18. G. Walter Hansen “The gospel had destroyed all essential distinctions between Jews and Gentiles and rendered inoperative all laws that upheld those distinctions.”

  19. Paul’s Response • I am not breaking the Law, I am dead to the Law (19) • No longer related to the Law

  20. Dead to the Law (19) • Law does not apply to the dead • Christ died under the Law • By faith I died with Christ • The Law does not apply to me

  21. So What? • Any hint of self-righteousness? • Does this mean I can do whatever I want? • Gal. 5:13-15

  22. Paul’s Response • I am not breaking the Law, I am deadto the Law (19) • I am dead to the Law, but I am alive to God (20)

  23. Alive to God (20) • [Christ was raised to new life] • Christ is living in me • I have His new life by faith • Seeking life by Law cancels grace

  24. Alive to God (20) • Does this mean I don’t do anything? • Why did Paul confront Peter? • Context: Being acceptable to God, not living the Christian life

  25. Alive to God (20) • Does this mean I don’t do anything? • Romans 6 - Because you are dead to sin and alive to God, therefore… • Walk by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16-26)

  26. So What? • Is there any hint of earning God’s acceptance of me? • Now that I am accepted, who am I obeying? (Rom. 6)
