1. Personal Argument – work of the Holy Spirit (v2-5)
- v2 – How did you become a Christian? By the Spirit
- Holy Spirit – convicts you of sin
- Holy Spirit – new birth
- Holy Spirit – assurance that children of God
- You Believed & received ALL that you need
- Nothing to Add
2. Scriptural Argument – Saved by faith alone (v6-14)
- v6 – Paul goes back to Abraham
- Abraham was made righteous by FAITH – just like us!
- Believe God & take Him at His Word
- v10-11 – Through the Law, we are cursed & helpless
- v13 – Jesus has redeemed us & set us free!
- ONLY JESUS can do this
- ‘Get JESUS – Get EVERYTHING’
3. Logical Argument – Law points us to Jesus (v15-29)
- God made the promise to Abraham BEFORE the Law
- Law – NOT greater than the promise
- Law temporary – until Jesus (v19)
- Law not given to provide Life (v21)
- Law given to reveal sin (v19 & v22)
- Law to prepare the way for Christ (v23-26)
