The Objective Proof of The Gospel. (Galatians 3: 6-18)

There’s an old saying: “He who has an argument is always at the mercy of the one who has had an experience.” And that’s true. When Christ has changed your life, someone else’s argument doesn’t carry much weight. It’s perfectly valid to appeal to your experience—up to a point. But there’s also a weakness in relying on experience alone. 

 Experience can be misunderstood. It can be misinterpreted. And it can even be counterfeited. So, if we’re going to truly prove what we believe, we need something more solid than our own story.

 That’s exactly the situation Paul faced with the Galatians. False teachers had come along after he left and told these young believers that faith in Christ wasn’t enough—that they needed to keep the law to be saved. 

 So, Paul wrote the letter we call Galatians to set the record straight: salvation is by grace through faith, apart from the works of the law.  And that’s what we’re going to explore today: the objective proof of the gospel, the unchanging foundation that salvation is by grace through faith.
