The Gospel According to David

 Rocky Mountain Bible Conference

May 27–29, 2016

In Psalm 32 David declares, “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity.” Paul uses this quote in Rom 4:7–8 to support three great truths of the Gospel:
(1) Justification is by faith in Christ alone;
(2) God imputes His righteousness to those who believe the Gospel; and
(3) This righteous standing before God is apart from works of any kind.

Galatians 1

Galatians 1

If we compromise the truth we diminish the power of the Gospel. Judiazers added keeping the law to the gospel (Acts 15:1-5). Key verse is Gal 2:16 - justification by grace through faith. Relevance in our time Gal 5:1. Outline: Chapters 1-2 Personal, Chapters 3-4 Doctrinal, Chapters 5-6 Practical. Immediate defense of his apostleship (Gal 1:1-5), also contains the gospel. Paul stresses his independent calling through the Father and Son. The message of the gospel is by Grace; Christ's act of substitution giving Himself; the result is justification - we are rescued out this present evil age. The resurrection is proof (Rom 4:24-25). Peace comes from stability which comes from the truth; Galatians had no peace (Gal 1:5-6) because some were twisting the gospel (2Co 11:4, 2Co 11:13-15) and put themselves under a curse (Gal 1:9, Gal 3:10, Deu 11:26-28, Exo 19:4). Paul got both his apostleship and message from God (Gal 1:10-12). Paul's life change gave him credibility (Gal 1:13-16). God equipped Paul like we have to be (Gal 1:17-24).
