SCRIPTURE
Galatians 1:1-10
BIG IDEA
Salvation is by God’s grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
OUTLINE
1. The True Gospel…
- Jesus Christ
- Gave
- Raised
- Our Sins
- Grace
- Deliver
- Peace
- Will of God
2. The False Gospel…
Why people embrace “Grace Plus”
- To do list
- Puts us in control
- Allow us to compare
“Grace plus” deflates theology
- Diminishes the work of Christ
- Distorts the response of faith alone.
- Divides the family of God
“Grace plus” warning sign
- I’m not a good enough Christian
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- What has most shocked (v. 6) you about the Christian life?
- Would reconciling with God be easier if you had a To Do List to follow? Why?
- Do you feel like Christianity requires other beliefs or behaviors to be a true Christian? How so?
- Paul (author of Galatians) is quite alarmed and emotional in his response to those who change the original good news of Jesus (v. 8-9). Do you think his response is reasonable? Why or why not?
- Does faith in Jesus alone function like Fire Insurance (you only use it when you need it) for you or is it a belief that weaves through your entire life? Be honest…
NEXT STEP
- I will not frontload or backload my faith in Jesus.
