Righteousness: How Does God Impart It? How Do We Regard It?

Summary

The sermon explores the theme of righteousness and how God imparts it, focusing on Paul's rebuke of Peter in Galatians 2 regarding justification by faith versus works of the law. It emphasizes that righteousness comes through the faith of Jesus Christ, not by adherence to the Mosaic law or cultural rituals, and highlights the transformative power of living by faith in Christ. The preacher stresses the importance of unity in the church, rejecting legalism and cultural divisions, and calls believers to live out the faith of Jesus daily. The message also addresses the new covenant, the believer's death to the law through Christ, and the practical implications of being 'married' to Christ in conduct and relationships.
