Faith alone saves
Friday, July 26, 2024
I would say this is a tremendous passage of Scripture, and by the way, it's very practical, is it not? It fits right down where we live today. You see, ceremonies and rituals cannot change the evil heart of man. Only the Word of God can change a human heart. And when the heart is changed, it's going to be revealed in the man's life. In other words, Paul is saying here the same thing James said—and Paul and James were never in disagreement—faith without works, it’s dead. Saving faith, it produces something. And faith, as Calvin said, “Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is not alone.”

Galatians Bible Companion
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
