Freedom Through Faith Alone

Galatians 2:11-21

Salvation has always been:

n  by Grace alone

n  through Faith alone

n  in Christ alone

Satan vs God

Cain vs Abel

Babel vs Noah

Jericho vs Rahab

King Saul vs David

The Pharisees vs Jesus 

Faith vs Works  

A quick overview of Galatians 2:1-21

n   The Clash (2:11)

n   The Cause (2:12)

n   The Consequences (2:13)

n   The Conversation (2:14-21)

When we have been saved through faith alone:

1.  We find completeness in grace alone.   (2:15-16)

2.  We deal with sin by grace alone. (2:17-19)
