Sermon Title: Justification and Grace
Sermon Text: Galatians 2:15-21
Our society is identity driven. We find countless ways to identify and differentiate ourselves from others, and in those moments when doubt and fear creep in because we find ourselves questioning our purpose in life, we suffer an “identity crisis.” To complicate matters, our world is constantly changing and evolving. The relationships, jobs, and hobbies that we use to identify ourselves change and bring new experiences into our lives. In essence, life changes around us and, whether we want to or not, we change with it.
The one constant in all of life is God’s grace (Romans 3:20-24). No matter how busy our schedules, how drastic our mistakes, or how painful our sufferings, God’s love abounds and restores life (1 Peter 5:10). Let God set your feet on solid ground (Psalm 40:1-3), and focus on only identifying yourself as a follower of Christ. Through Christ we have been transformed by God’s grace and, by being the body of Christ in the world today, God’s love and grace transform in profound and unimaginable ways (Galatians 2:20).
