In this message from Galatians 5, Pastor James reminds us that Christ didn’t set us free so we could try harder—He set us free so we could live in grace. Legalism always looks like love lost. When our faith becomes about earning instead of receiving, we fall from grace, even if our lives look “good” on the outside. True faith, Paul says, works through love.
In this message, we’re challenged to examine whether our faith is producing love, humility, and unity—or rules, pride, and division. Because only when our faith is rooted in grace will our lives overflow with love that draws others to Christ.
Key Scriptures:
Galatians 5:1–12, 1 Corinthians 13, James 5:16
Core Quote:
“If your faith isn’t evident through love, you don’t have real faith.”
