Can We Truly Be Justified by Faith (Galatians 2:16-19)

In his sermon, Gordie Hunt addresses four pivotal questions about being justified by faith alone, as discussed in Galatians 2:16-19. He explores the foundation of justification, emphasizing that it is not through the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. Gordie clarifies that our deeds do not secure our righteousness; instead, faith in Christ's sacrifice assures our standing before God. He challenges listeners to embrace this truth without reverting to legalistic beliefs by reiterating the theme of being justified by faith alone.

What is Kootenai Church: Galatians?

Paul wrote this corrective letter to the church in Galatia because the believers were being fooled by legalistic Jews in their understanding of grace; they were thinking they could add to God's grace and gain His acceptance by keeping God’s ceremonial laws that He had given to Jews. Paul was teaching them and us as well that we are justified by faith alone and not by anything we can do.
