The Faith OF Jesus: Why You Can't Work Your Way to Righteousness

Jul 8, 2026    Pastor Paul Craig

This sermon from Galatians 2 and 3 explains the difference between having faith "in" Jesus and sharing in the faith "of" Jesus, the perfect trust He had in fulfilling His mission as the final, spotless sacrifice. Pastor Paul contrasts the Jewish sacrificial mindset with the Gentile "pay for your own wrongs" mentality, showing why trying to add personal works to what Christ already accomplished actually voids His grace. He closes by tying Galatians 3:13 to Deuteronomy 28, explaining how believers inherit the blessings of the law while Jesus alone bore its curses.
