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 \u2013 \u201cDoes everything I do contribute to learning?\u201d; (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: Show that at the moment of our new birth we were also made one in Christ\u2019s death on the cross.\u00a0 QUESTION: Can you name four things that were nailed to the cross?\u00a0 1) The Lord Jesus Christ; 2) The public announcement that read: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews \u2013 John 19:19; 3) The debt of our sin: God forgave \u201call our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross\u201d (Col. 2:13-14); 4) The follower of Christ \u2013 Gal. 2:20.\u00a0 TEXT FOR THE DAY: \u201cBut if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! If I rebuild what I destroyed, I prove that I am a lawbreaker. \u201cFor through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
