Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Gal. 5:1) SECONDARY THEME VERSES: \u201cA man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ\u201d (Gal. 2:16); \u201cIf righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing\u201d (Gal. 2:21).\u00a0 THEME: Salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone releases us from the yoke of the law, freeing us to live a life of love through the power of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 Legal (Imputed) Righteousness: We are justified by faith in Christ (Gal. 2:16). Imparted Righteousness: Immediate Moral Change at conversion (Gal. 6:15); Gradual Moral Change through the fruit-growing work of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22) which requires our cooperation (Gal 5:16-17, 25, 6:8). We cooperate by using CCRC (Concentration, Choice, Reflection, Confession\/Thanksgiving. Foundational verse, \u201cBy one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.\u201d (Heb. 10:14)\u00a0 Good Teachers: (1) Constantly re-evaluate what they are doing; (2) Set large goals; (3) Ask &#8211; Does everything I do contribute to learning?; (4) Prepare well; (5) Check for understanding; (6) Like teaching; (7) Get results from their teaching; (8) Have perseverance. Don\u2019t give up.\u00a0 TEACHING GOAL: To show the antiquity of the basic beliefs of Biblical Christianity.\u00a0 \u00a0REVIEW\u00a0 The problem Paul is facing is \u201cHow can I prove to the Galatians the essentially supernatural nature of the gospel which I preach?\u201d\u00a0 1:11-12 &#8211; Paul\u2019s thesis: My Gospel was received by divine revelation.\u00a0 From 1:13-4:31 Paul defends his position as an apostle and the divine authenticity of the Gospel he preaches.\u00a0 Paul shows his independence from: (1) Human Teaching (1:13-17); (2) The Judean churches (1:18-24); (3) The Jerusalem \u201cpillars\u201d (2:1-10); (4) The Apostle Peter (2:11-21).\u00a0 Last week we asked ourselves the following:\u00a0 1. Have I experienced God acting on me? Have I been the subject or the object of the sentence in my relationship to God?\u00a0 2. Have I had a revelation of who Christ is and embraced the objective truth of the Gospel and also had a subjective experience of Christ in me, revealing himself to me?\u00a0 3. Have I sensed God\u2019s call on my life to a specific ministry?\u00a0 4. Am I still focused on the call that God gave me? Am I on course even though I may be changing gears?\u00a0 TEXT FOR THE DAY: Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus. Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter and stayed with him fifteen days. I saw none of the other apostles\u2014only James, the Lord&#8217;s brother.
