In this sermon on Galatians 2:21, CH Spurgeon confronts the error of seeking salvation by works rather than by faith in Christ. He shows how works-based righteousness undermines the gospel, minimizes Christ's sacrifice, and exalts self instead of God.
Spurgeon contrasts this false way with the true gospel of grace, declaring that salvation is wholly a gift of God, received by faith in Christ alone. He urges his hearers to abandon every hope in their own merit and rest only in the righteousness of Jesus.
This sermon was preached on April 18, 1880 and is found in Volume 26 of the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit.
