Galatians #13 How Did Paul Die and Yet Live?

The sermon centers on the transformative truth of Galatians 2:20–21, emphasizing that every believer is simultaneously crucified with Christ and yet lives through Him, a reality rooted in union with Christ's death and resurrection. It underscores that justification is by faith alone in Christ alone, not by law-keeping, and that this gospel is not merely a past event but a present, daily reality that empowers sanctification. The preacher highlights that the believer's old self, condemned by the law, died with Christ, freeing them from sin's dominion, while the new self lives by the faith of the Son of God, who loved and gave Himself personally for each believer. This personal, sacrificial love of Christ—agape love—forms the foundation of assurance and the source of spiritual power, which must be actively embraced through daily faith, obedience, and reliance on Christ's work, not one's own efforts. Neglecting this truth leads to frustration of God's grace, while embracing it daily results in victory over sin and a life of joyful, holy obedience.
