The Verdict of Grace

Jul 13, 2025    Josh Hildebrandt

In this message, we examine Paul’s argument that justification is by faith in Christ alone, not by works of the law. Galatians 2:15–21 stands as a verdict of grace: we are declared righteous not by our own effort, but by union with Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for us. The sermon exposes the futility of self-justification and calls the church to rest in the finished work of Jesus. The cross is the center of Christian identity, and the grace of God as the only ground for hope and transformation.
