  1. Galatians Teaches Justification Galatians 2:15-21

  2. “It’s safe to say that we do not understand Christianity if we do not understand justification.” John Stott “It’s the principle article of the Christian faith! If the doctrine of justification is lost, the whole of Christian doctrine is lost!” Martin Luther

  3. “If [we] let the thought of justification drop out of our minds, the true knowledge of salvation drops out with it, and cannot be restored till the truth of justification is back in its proper place. “ J.I. Packer

  4. Romans 3:9 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, 10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; 11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. 12All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”

  5. 13 “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.” 14 “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.” 15  “Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 in their paths are ruin and misery, 17 and the way of peace they have not known.” 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” … 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

  6. Romans 2:5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

  7. “Yes, though we learn it and understand it well, yet there is no one who takes hold of it perfectly or believes it with all his heart, so frail a thing is our flesh and disobedient to the Spirit.”   Martin Luther

  8. JUSTIFICATION IS FREE, YET COSTLY

  9. JUSTIFICATION IS FREE, YET COSTLY Galatians 1:6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

  10. JUSTIFICATION IS FREE, YET COSTLY Galatians 2:15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

  11. JUSTIFICATION IS FREE, YET COSTLY “Self-justification is the deepest impulse in the fallen human heart.” Ray Ortlund

  12. JUSTIFICATION IS FREE, YET COSTLY Romans 7:7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”

  13. JUSTIFICATION IS FREE, YET COSTLY 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. Galatians 2:19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20a I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.

  14. JUSTIFICATION IS FREE, YET COSTLY

  15. JUSTIFICATION IS UNIVERSAL, YET PERSONAL

  16. JUSTIFICATION IS UNIVERSAL, YET PERSONAL Galatians 2:20b And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

  17. JUSTIFICATION IS UNIVERSAL, YET PERSONAL Behold the Man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders Ashamed I hear my mocking voice, Call out among the scoffers It was my sin that left Him there Until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life Stuart Townend

  18. JUSTIFICATION IS UNIVERSAL, YET PERSONAL

  19. JUSTIFICATION IS FULFILLING, YET MOTIVATING

  20. JUSTIFICATION IS FULFILLING, YET MOTIVATING Galatians 2:17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.

  21. JUSTIFICATION IS FULFILLING, YET MOTIVATING John 14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”

  22. JUSTIFICATION IS FULFILLING, YET MOTIVATING “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,” The Apostle Paul

  23. JUSTIFICATION IS FULFILLING, YET MOTIVATING
