Galatians Teaches JustificationGalatians 2:15-21
“It’s safe to say that we do not understand Christianity if we do not understand justification.”
John Stott
“It’s the principle article of the Christian faith! If the doctrine of justification is lost, the whole of
Christian doctrine is lost!” Martin Luther
“If [we] let the thought of justification drop out of our minds,
the true knowledge of salvation drops out with it, and cannot be
restored till the truth of justification is back in its
proper place. “ J.I. Packer
Romans 3:9 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under
sin, 10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands; no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good, not even one.”
13 “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to
deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their
lips.” 14 “Their mouth is full of curses and
bitterness.” 15 “Their feet are swift to shed
blood; 16 in their paths are ruin and
misery, 17 and the way of peace they have
not known.” 18 “There is no fear of God before
their eyes.” …
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 2:5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are
storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be
revealed.
“Yes, though we learn it and understand it well, yet there is no one who takes hold of it perfectly or believes it with all his heart, so
frail a thing is our flesh and disobedient to the Spirit.”
Martin Luther

Galatians 1:6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ
and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another
one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort
the gospel of Christ.

Galatians 2:15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16 yet
we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but
through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in
Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no
one will be justified.

heart.” Ray Ortlund

Romans 7:7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I
would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I
would not have known what coveting really was if the law had
not said, “Do not covet.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the
new has come.
Galatians 2:19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20a I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live,
but Christ who lives in me.

Galatians 2:20b And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave
himself for me.

Behold the Man upon a cross,My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that left Him there
Until it was accomplishedHis dying breath has brought me

Galatians 2:17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then
a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down,
I prove myself to be a transgressor.
