The Law & Grace: How Christians Relate to God's Commands Galatians Pt. 16
In this continuation of our Galatians study, we tackle a crucial question: If we're saved by grace alone, what role does God's law play in our lives? Paul makes it clear that while the law cannot save us, it remains a vital gift for believers.
Key Points Covered:
- Why moral law still matters for Christians (even if civil/ceremonial laws don't)
- The difference between obeying as worship vs. obeying to earn salvation
- How the law reveals God's character and guides our growth
- Why we must repent of both sin AND self-righteousness
- Practical ways the law helps position us for heart transformation
This study helps us avoid two dangerous extremes: legalism that burdens us with rules, or license that ignores God's good design. Instead, we'll see how grace empowers us to embrace God's commands as a joyful response to salvation—not a means to earn it.
Join us as we explore how to "keep the law in its proper place" through the lens of Galatians 3. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more in this series!
