WHAT DOES JESUS DEMAND? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN JESUS GETS WHAT HE WANTS? - Joey McLaughlin - Living Free - Galatians 2

Elevate City Church

This summer here at Elevate City, we are taking a deep dive into the book of Galatians and Paul's journey through the days of the early church. The question Pastor Joey unpacks today through Galatians Chapter 2 is What does Jesus demand? And what happens when Jesus gets what he wants?

Galatians 2:15-16: We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no will be justified.

What causes someone to stand as just before a Holy God? And Peter is trying to make clear through Galatians 2:15-16 is that the Law and works of the Law can NOT save you. Only be faith in Jesus Christ can we be saved. That's what makes Jesus and the Christian faith so radically different from every other religion, that we can NOT earn salvation from God but it is freely given by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

Galatians 2:20: I have crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

The 2nd part of the question today is found in Galatians 2:20 that it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me. That my old self is crucified with Christ 2000 years ago, that in same way when Jesus died on that Christ, my old self before Christ died too.
