Episode notes
Two Ways to Obtain Things
- There are two ways to get what you want: by doing something to earn it or by receiving it as a gift.
- Right standing with God, however, is a unique treasure obtained only as a gift.
Justification Through Faith
- Paul emphasizes in Galatians that justification comes through faith in Jesus, not by observing the law.
- This free gift is available to all because everyone falls short of God's glory.
The Cost of Grace
- While salvation is a free gift, it came at a cost.
- Christ paid this price through his sacrifice, allowing God to be both just and the justifier.
