The toleration of many contradictory beliefs on any given doctrine is the idol of our age ("that's your truth, but it's not my truth" as if there can be contradictory doctrines that are both true). As Christians, we can't stand in some morally neutral territory when it comes to the truth of Jesus Christ. Of course, we must always speak the truth in love and in humility. If people reject the truth, let it not be due to our arrogance/belligerence. Today, are we considering one of the clearest passages of Scripture addressing the doctrine of justification: Galatians 2:16. No doctrine in Scripture more clearly explains what the true gospel is than the doctrine of justification by faith alone. This isn't a secondary point of doctrine. It's an essential point of doctrine (as Paul teaches). It is the heart of biblical Christianity. This is one of the most important reasons that led our Reformed forefathers to leave the Church of Rome and to protest against her—the true gospel was perverted. We will consider two main points today: (1) A Summary of the Doctrine of Justification (Galatians 2:15-16); (2) Why Does James Say We Are Justified by Works (James 2:24)?
