    Plus Nothing Part 5 – Trusting in the Son

    Galatians 2:16-21, Philippians 2:12-14 and Romans 3:20
     
    Faith in Christ is what makes us right before God. Nothing else. The law was given to point us to our need for redemption, it was never a means from which to be redeemed. It simply reveals our sin and need for a savior. That Savior is Jesus Christ.

    Plus Nothing Part 2 – Only One Good News (Galatians 1:6-24)
    Series: Plus Nothing
    Galatians 1:6-24
     
    Paul is shocked that the churches scattered throughout Galatia are turning to a false gospel.  He warns them to realize how serious this is in God's eyes. He begins his personal plea by reminding them that his transition from persecutor to believer to preacher of the Gospel came from Jesus Christ Himself and that God received the glory for his transformation. 
     
    How is God changing you so that He can receive the glory through your life?

    In Chapter 5 we see a problem revealed within the walls of the city (vs. 1-5), Nehemiah confronts this problem head on and finds a solution (vs 6-13), and concludes by showing how he chose to lead by example(vs. 14-19).  
     
    This passage is a great reminder to not sin in our anger, but to take the time to calm down and find a solution that will give God the glory.
