Adult Sunday School: Galatians

One of the main themes of the book of Galatians is found in 3:11: “The righteous shall live by faith.” We must stand firm in this truth. Any compromise with legalism or the mixture of human effort and the grace of God for salvation leads to heresy.

Not only are we saved by faith alone, but the life of the believer in Christ—day by day, moment by moment—is lived by and through that faith. Not that faith is something we conjure up on our own—it is the gift of God, not of works —but it is our responsibility, our hearts desire and  joy to exhibit our faith so that others will see the work of Christ in us and to grow in our faith by the application of spiritual disciplines (Bible study, prayer, obedience, etc.).

Jesus said we would be known by the fruit of our lives, which should give evidence of the faith within us. All Christians should be diligent in striving to build upon the saving faith within us so that our lives will reflect Christ and others will “glorify (our) Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16, NKJV).
