    Grace From Galatians (6-19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,185 views

    It seems we make excuses and promises about many of the things we do. We do this in many ways, such as, each year we make promises to ourselves.

    We call them New Year’s resolutions. But so often we MAKE THESE PROMISES and then we BREAK THEM! Illus: Did you hear about the man who got tired of making these promises and breaking them? He got so disgusted with himself that he came up with a list of Resolutions he felt he could keep. He said ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (8 Of 19)

    One of the exciting things in the Christian life is to see someone come to know the Lord as their Savior. To know without a doubt that they have been gloriously saved from the bondage of sin.

    However, one of the saddest things in the Christian life is to see someone who professes to know the Lord but lives their life in such a way as to cast doubt on their salvation. Illus: Evangelist Ding Teuling is often asked how many were converted in some of his meetings. He tells them he really ...read more

    One of the problems in the political arena is that we have politicians that are more loyal to their party than they are to their constituents.

    They are more interested in trying to make us all Republicans or all Democrats than they are in trying to help the people that put them into office. President Bill Clinton seemed to be the exception to this rule, he seemed to have other interests. Illus: The story is told that Hillary Clinton ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (10 Of 19)

    We are looking at the five different appeals that Paul used in dealing with these Galatians.

    In the first appeal, he dealt with them about three things: • He appealed to their PAST • He appealed to their PRESENT • He appealed to their PREDICAMENT In this second appeal, he appeals to their love for him and how he should be treated by them. • Being a Minister of the Gospel is considered by ...read more

    Paul knew how much these Galatians held Abraham in high esteem.

    He takes this knowledge that they had of Abraham and uses it as he makes his third of the five appeals to them. Paul had no problem regarding the spiritual roots believers have in Abraham, because God's promises were clearly made to him. But he wanted them to know that having the PROMISED ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (12 Of 19)

     | 1,709 views

    This is Paul’s fourth appeal to try to get them to come to their senses.

    As we have seen, Paul does not understand why these backsliding Galatian Christians wanted to return to the bondage of the law. In this appeal, he seems to appeal to their common sense, something that many in this country seem to have lost. Illus: I saw this sad announcement and thought about ...read more

     | 1,183 views

    This is the FIFTH APPEAL that Paul used to try and bring these Galatians to their spiritual senses. He is hoping they will reach a sensible solution to their problems.

    But anytime you work with people and try to get them to arrive at the right conclusion, you find it is a difficult task to say the least. Some folks will go years and years making the same mistakes and getting the same results. It never seems to dawn on them that perhaps they are doing something ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (14 Of 19)

     | 1,103 views

    We are now coming to the last section of the Book of Galatians. We have dealt with the doctrine of Grace in many ways.

    But in this last section, Paul begins to deal with the conduct of the Believer. In the remaining part of the Book of Galatians, Paul breaks the conduct of the Believer into six sections. In this sermon we are going to see where God has set the Believer free from the bondage of the law and how it ...read more

    The Bible has a great deal to say about Christians walking in the Spirit.

    Illus: There's a man trying to cross the street. As he steps off the curb, a car comes screaming around the corner and heads straight for him. The man walks faster, trying to hurry across the street, but the car changes lanes and is still coming at him. So the guy turns around to go back, ...read more

     | 784 views

    In the last sermon we dealt with the two choices we have as Christians. That is, we can: • Walk in the flesh • Walk in the Spirit

    We also pointed out that the flesh is not sinful. The body in which we live is the temple of the Holy Spirit. HOW DO WE KNOW THESE BODIES ARE NOT SINFUL WITHIN THEMSELVES? Because this body in which we live is the same type of body in which Christ lived, and He was without sin. All sin resides ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (17 Of 19)

     | 1,169 views

    In this passage of scripture, Paul is addressing Christians. Notice, he addressed them in verse 1 by referring to them as, “Brethren”.

    Paul’s concept of the church throughout the scriptures is that the Believers are the family of God. WHY IS HE ADDRESSING THEM? He is addressing them because people in the family of God are supposed to love one another as a LOVING FAMILY. Like all families, the family of God has times when ...read more

     | 1,213 views

    Remember that when we started the Book of Galatians we talked about how these false teachers attacked Paul. They stated: • He was not a true apostle • He was preaching a false gospel

    Before Paul brings this letter to a close, he wants to deal with this subject sternly. The strategy that some use when they want to destroy a message is to destroy the messenger. This is the kind of strategy they were using against the apostle Paul. This is done in politics all the time. When ...read more

    This passage of scripture concludes Paul’s letter to the Galatians.

    In this letter we have been able to see: 1. Paul wrote to the Galatians out of a heart of love. 2. Paul wrote to the Galatians out of a heart of disappointment because they had so soon turned from the doctrine of grace to a false doctrine. 3. Paul wrote to the Galatians out of a heart of concern ...read more
