00:00 Intro 02:00 Galatians 2:15-16 Reading 02:35 Galatians 2:15-16 Reading 03:50 Intro Continues 07:10 Live for God Instead of Legalistic Religion 17:50 Lean into Christ Instead of Clinging to a Dead Life 27:18 Closing

------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Live for God Instead of Legalistic Religion. (17-19, 21)

• Trusting Christ results in living for God. • Trusting Christ means letting go of legalistic formulas.

?- Have I let go of all religious efforts to earn God’s love? ?- Has my salvation resulted in me living my life for God?

2. Lean Into Christ Instead of Clinging to a Dead Life. (20)

Knowing Christ as Your Savior…

• Your old life has been crucified with Christ • Your new life is discovered in Christ. • Your new life is lived by faith in Christ’s love and sacrifice.

?- Would my life be described as living in fear and insecurity in my flesh or living faith and security in Christ? ?- What difference does it make for me to embrace that Jesus loved ME and gave Himself up for ME?

JD Bowman | Galatians - What Does it Mean to be Saved?

00:00 Intro 04:34 Galatians 1:6-9 07:10 Beware of False Gospels 17:54 Beware Teaching a False Gospel 32:37 Checklist for Ensuring that I’m Sharing the True Gospel 33:40 Closing

------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEWARE OF FALSE GOSPELS. (6-7)

True or False Essentials of the Gospel: • Everyone is sinful and separated from God. • People can do the right things that make them more appealing to God so that he will save them. • Jesus died on the cross as a payment for our sins and rose again. • The person who is trusting in Jesus alone for salvation can be saved. • Once saved, a Christian gets God to keep loving them more by avoiding sin.

BEWARE OF TEACHING A FALSE GOSPEL. (8-9)

Checklist for Ensuring that I’m Sharing the True Gospel. • Our Sin — We are guilty sinners separated from a holy God. • Christ's Identity — Jesus is the divine Son of God who became man and lived without sin. • Christ's Cross — Jesus died in our place, paying the penalty for our sins. • Christ's Resurrection — Jesus physically rose from the dead and offers eternal life. • Our Response — Salvation is God's gift, received through repentance and faith in Christ rather than earned by our works.

00:00 Intro 10:18 Expect to Appreciate the Gospel of Jesus Christ 17:16 Expect to Expand Your View of Salvation 28:53 Closing

------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. EXPECT TO APPRECIATE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. (1-2)

?- Does it make a difference to me that the gospel has been handed down from one to another for 2000 years, starting with Jesus? ?- Does it make a difference to me that the intention is for me to share the good news of the gospel with others?

2. EXPECT TO EXPAND YOUR VIEW OF SALVATION. (3-5)

• Salvation is far more than just personal peace. It’s grace and peace. • Salvation is far more than just an event in your life. It’s deliverance from this present evil age.

?- Have I treated salvation like a “fire insurance” policy that I put in a drawer for when I might need it? ?- In what area of my life do I need to be delivered by God from this evil age we live in?
