Things aren’t what they seem.

Galatians 5 Falling Into & Out Of Grace…

3 If you start living by that system

you will need to perfectly keep all of

the laws all of the time. 4 This will cut

you off from Christ. You who seek

righteousness through keeping the

law have missed out on God’s grace.

1. Falling From Grace

7 All of you were doing so well as followers of

Christ. Who has obstructed you and stopped

you living according to the truth? 8 That idea

certainly doesn’t come from Jesus, the one you

are supposed to be following. 8 And

remember, it only takes a small amount of

yeast to affect the whole lump of dough.

2. Freedom Interrupted

11 And think about it, if I was

preaching a message that supported

the idea of obeying rules as the way

to follow Christ why am I still being

persecuted? If that were the case

then the offence of the cross would

have been removed.

3. Enjoy The Persecution

13 You were called to experience

freedom, brothers and sisters. It is

not a kind of freedom that sanctions

increased human indulgence but a

freedom that enables you to serve

each other in love

4. Experience Freedom

14 The law is actually fulfilled in a single command: love your neighbour as yourself. 15 But if you keep on biting and devouring one another as you are doing there may soon be nothing left.

5. Biting & Devouring
