The Instrument of Justification | Galatians

In Galatians 2:16, the apostle Paul compresses the doctrine of justification into one of the Bible’s clearest, most forceful statements—three times emphasizing that no one is justified by the works of the law, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. This sermon explains the instrument of justification: why works fail, what saving faith is (and isn’t), and why the smallest true faith in Christ is safer than the strongest confidence in self. Along the way, we address the difference between mere belief and saving faith, the subtle danger of religious performance, and the soul-rest that comes from relying on Christ alone. Text: Galatians 2:16 Theme: Justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone Key emphases: • Why “works of the law” can never justify • The law’s purpose: exposing sin and driving us to Christ • The natural heart’s pull toward self-salvation • Saving faith: knowledge, assent, and trust • False confidence vs. genuine resting in Christ • The warning: adding works empties the gospel of its power If you’re wrestling with assurance, burdened by performance, or unsure whether your faith is real—show up under this text and let Scripture do its searching work.
