Start and Finish with Faith

•   Galatians 3v1-14
  

Foolish!

Living by Faith

•   We receive the Spirit by faith
  

Hear the gospel ‘The gospel is not good advice to men and women, but good news about Christ; not an invitation to us to do anything, but a declaration of what God has done; not a demand, but an offer…Christ did everything necessary for our salvation.’ Stott.

Believe the gospel ‘The law says: ‘Do this’; the gospel says ‘Christ has done it all’. The law requires works of human achievement; the gospel requires faith in Christ’s achievement. Believing is to let Christ be our saviour and to rest in his finished work.’ Stott

‘Whatever sins I, you, or we all have done, or shall do hereafter, they are Christ’s own sins, or else we would perish forever.’ Luther
