Sound Doctrine

Today we’ll again be in chapter four of Galatians. The subject once again is law and grace - the flesh and the Spirit. As pastor Jeff has mentioned often, if we try to live by the law, we’ll be in bondage. We are set free when we trust in Christ. And then, His grace is applied to our lives and we’re set free. Additionally, a lot of people have a mistaken definition of the phrase “Christian Liberty”. Is it freedom to do whatever we want?

oday, we’ll observe God opening and closing doors for His children, and specifically the apostle Paul. God sovereignly orchestrates the events of our lives, and that can be a great comfort to know.

The one way to God is by grace through faith. Paul’s epistle to the Galatians really drives that point home, and today on Sound Doctrine we revisit this glorious truth. Pastor Jeff Johnson will be in chapter four, as he brings us a message that addresses something that was taking place in Galatia back then, and taking place in our society today - a backsliding church.

Today we find ourselves in chapter four of Galatians, paying close attention to verses eight through twelve. The subject is a serious one, and one that is very relevant for today – the backsliding church. It’s really alarming to see the way false doctrine has crept into the Christian church here in America and around the world.

We pick up where we left off last time in our continuing study of Galatians. As we re-enter chapter four, it’s important for us to look at what’s ours in Christ. Once you give your life over to Christ, you become an heir of God. And one day we’ll be truly blown away by what the Lord has prepared for us in heaven.

When God laid it on the heart of George Mueller to build orphanages in Bristol, England, he had only two shillings to call his own. Without making his needs known to anyone but God, over seven million dollars were sent to him for the building and maintenance of the homes. Now there’s a man who was not only saved by faith, but also walked and lived by faith. Today, Pastor Jeff Johnson will urge us to do likewise. Join us in Galatians chapter four.

Let’s consider a fundamental question today: If we are saved by the grace of God, then why does God word go into such detail about the law of God? We’re going to explore that question today, and we will discover that there’s a purpose behind the law of God. Today we continue our survey of Galatians. The Galatians churches were rife with misunderstanding concerning the role of God’s law. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

The law of God also has a purpose, and that is to reveal our sin and point us to Christ. If we look at God’s law as a set of rules to follow in oder to get to heaven, we miss then point. We cannot obey the law perfectly, and the law points that out to us, so we must turn to faith in Christ for our salvation. Today on Sound Doctrine, pastor Jeff Johnson will elaborate as he continues his study of Galatians. We’ll be in chapter three, verses twenty-three through twenty-nine.

In Galatians three, Paul is laying out a wonderful doctrinal defense for the grace of God. You see the Galatians had strayed away from a loving relationship with Jesus and the grace He alone provides. Instead they were trying to live up to the law, as so many still do to this day. But as we’re learning through Galatians, that only leads to frustration and failure. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29?v=20251111

Today on Sound Doctrine we learn that no matter how hard new try, none of us can become righteous in our own effort. Simply put, it’s impossible. Instead we ought to believe in and live by the grace of Jesus. Really the law of God has no power to prevent sin - or redeem the sinner. Only grace can do that.
