Our reading tonight is taken from the book of Galatians,

Galatians chapter 1, and we're going to read.

Galatians 1 · chapter mention

Verses 1 through 12. You have her Bible, their turn

to the police appointed for the reading Galatians 1 verses 1

Galatians 1:1–12

through 12. The words will also come up in

the screen for all here on the internet, but we do encourage

you, if you have your Bible Hound, they also turn to it.

And not only see the words, but you can hear them as well.

We've been using these. Verses and the first chapter of

Galatians, as a springboard to expose certain false gospels.

I'm already put three messages out there on our church website

and YouTube channel. And I pray that you'll Avail

yourself of that. And Share them with others and

let's do your best to learn and may the Lord be our teacher and

help her. Let's hear the word of God.

Galatians chapter 1, a reading from verse 1.

Galatians 1 · chapter mention

Paul an apostle, not of man, neither by man, but by Jesus

Christ. And God, the Father who raised

him from the dead and all the Brethren, which are with me unto

the churches of Goleta. Greece speak to you and peace

from God, the father, and from our Lord, Jesus Christ who gave

himself for our sins, that he might Deliver Us from this

present, evil world, according to the will of God and our

father to him, be glory forever. And ever.

Amen. I Marvel that ye are so soon

removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto

another gospel, which is not another.

But there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel

of Christ, but though we or an angel from heaven, preach any

other gospel unto you than that, which we have preached unto you

let him be accursed as we said before.

So, say I, now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you

than that, ye have received, let him be accursed for do I now

persuade men or God or do? I seek to please men for if If I

yet, please, man, I should not be the servant of Christ.

But I certify you Brethren that the gospel which was preached of

me is not after man. For I neither received it of

man. Neither was I taught it, but by

the revelation of Jesus Christ, amen.

To the Lord was stump of his own approval and blessing.

That's reading off the holy scriptures. now my text tonight

is found in Galatians, chapter 1 verses 3 to 5, and they want us

Galatians 1:3–5

to think this evening of discovering truth about the

death of Christ. Now Paul's epistle to the

Galatians is no one as an emergency Paso.

In other words, it was written and he hissed.

And if you look very carefully at your authorized version and

just read through verses 1 through 25, you will discover.

There's no full stops, the First full, stop as at the last word

and verse 5, which is amen. There's Commerce, there's colons

and their semicolons. And if you want to know what

they're for. I urge you to do eat but of

digging into English grammar, or maybe ask one of the teachers

that are here. They'll give you the answer.

I'm not fully sure. But I'm only going for what's in

the book. It's as if Paul at Harley, took

time to take breath. He's being rating so fast, you

see, sadly, the church has not the plurality, not church, but

the churches and the whole province of Goleta were being

affected and impacted by certain false teachers, certain man had

come into the church and they were adding to the gospel and

they were saying it's great. You've got Jesus.

Lord and Savior wonderful, but you know what?

He's not really enough. You need something more simple

faith in. Jesus Christ is not sufficient.

We need to ask something. What are they going to add a

strict observance of the law? Certain Jewish, rituals and

ceremonies? And they were saying this is

essential to Salvation, especially circumcision and the

Apostle Paul. When he hears this, he's stoned,

he's surprised to learn that the people of good Lord and You

later, the born-again Believers were taken in was such a

message. Look at verse 6.

I Marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you

into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel, and the word

another their means something different from what we have

preached and then he says in verse 7, which is not another,

it's not the same. As we have preached, it's a

legalistic gospel and I'm going to expose it in a thumbnail next

week. That's what it was.

But that's why it is different from uncomfort to the true

gospel preached by the Apostle Paul Apostle.

Paul was quickly aware and could understand how quickly and

easily this false gospel message, could spray it and kill

it. He knows it's like a poison

affecting the whole body of Christ.

He knows that the devil's at the back of it.

He knows the devil's using on godly man.

Like Pawns in his game of subtle day.

He knows that it's a mixture of Truth and error.

You think of it. You need Jesus, as Lord and

Savior, but you need a little bit more, something out at

something else and Paul knows that discernment is needed if

they're going to understand the true gospel.

The gospel of the free grace of God must be defended.

No, of course not only in the first century that the gospel

needs to be defended, but also, in the 21st century.

There's a spiritual battle going on for the heart and soul of the

Gospel of Jesus Christ. You know that tonight that the

gospel never has been and never will be acceptable to Fallen

sinful man. And because of those on

Relentless attacks, it becomes necessary to constantly defend

the gospel. The gospels heated by man.

It always will be always has been.

It is constantly being attacked by the minions of hell and it's

possible, of course, to give loads of illustrations in the

past. Present-day illustrations to

that effect tonight even and Westminster parliament in the

Scottish and Welsh and storm. And establish that we hear the

cries of certain people who have raised their voices against the

gospel and against Christ and the gospel is under attack.

It's under attack from false preachers from Liberal

theologians. It's under attack from Beavers

your Monster eating tonight as preachers of the gospel and the

pulpits of the land. I'm because of these attacks and

the gospel, the Holy Spirit. And Paul heard was happening in

the churches Goleta, put in the heart of Paul and his heart and

mind to rate. What is really a stirring

defense of the Gospel. Listen to me carefully.

This is what someone has said. The great fundamentals of the

Gospel have been hammered out in the anvils of controversy

without this false teaching coming into the churches of

Galena. They would have been no ladder

to the churches and Galina. That's what it means.

The great fundamentals of the Gospel of been hammered out on

the Anvil of controversy. And of course, the book of

Galatians sets forth. The very heart of the Gospel

message. At its heart is the great

doctrine of justification by faith alone.

A fool free and forever justification.

And that's at the very heart of the gospel.

And Paul is setting forth in this letter, what the gospel is

undone, so doing he has to include and sets forth.

Why? The Lord Jesus Christ died on

the tree? See people tell us today that

it's unloving and unkind and it's nasty and harsh to defend

the gospel. It's not Paul says, I'm sat for

the defense of the Gospel of love for Christ.

Paul was set for the defense of the Gospel.

He knew what the gospel was. He knew what the gospel was.

Not and out of love for Christ. Paul set forth his defense of

the gospel and what was happening in Gilead.

Grave damn to the core and there.

Love for Christ, and the swords of man, Paul sought to present

the gospel and exposed us false legalistic message that the

judaizers were preaching in Goleta and as he did.

So as he set forth, the heart of the gospel story.

He entered just the death of Christ.

She salvation is not by the law salvation is of the Lord and we

want to ask the question tonight.

Night, why did Christ die? Why did he come into the world

in the first place? What was his goal?

His mission as purpose. You see, it's summed up, in

these words. Look at these words, Galatians

Galatians 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1, verses, three, four, and five Greece.

Be to you and peace from God, the father, and from our Lord,

Jesus Christ who gave himself for our sins, that he might

Deliver Us from this present, evil world, according to the

will of God and our father to him, be glory forever and ever

met. Now, as you think about the

death of Christ. Here's the They want you to

discover. So we're thinking tonight, on

this tax, discovering the truth of the death of Christ.

The first thing I want to teach you.

Is this the spring of the death of Christ.

Remember I said, this is all one sentence.

Look at verse 3, grease be to you.

And we'll pause there. Here's the spring of the death

of Christ, the death of Christ as connected to on attributed,

to the free grace of God. Notice.

It's Greece. First Grace be to you.

It's not peace and any salutation of Paul.

It was never piece. First.

It was always greedy. Asst piece always follows on

from Greece, because Greece, is always first because God deals,

with man on the pieces of Greece.

And the spring of the death of Christ is connected to the grace

of God in eternity past. And Eternity present.

Someone has said, Greece is God's riches at Christ's

expense, and that's good. But there's more to it Greece as

the undeserved, unmerited, favor to criminals and lawbreakers.

Somebody else's coined. This, that will free us what

they thought was interesting Greece.

Everything for nothing. Everything for nothing.

You see the gospel is called the gospel of the grace of God.

And in this chapter three times, the word Greece, as mentioned

verse 3, grease be to You Verse 6.

I Marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you

into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.

And then in verse 15, he announced the words, but when it

pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called

me by his Greece. You see.

What's her? Number?

Three is the number of witness in the Bible, a third of work of

grease in the soul. Nobody can be saved.

And here's the freeness of Greece.

All that God doors. He dolls freely on the basis of

Greece, God's not coerced young people.

God's not pressed into act and do something.

God works freely by his grace grease is marked by the freedom

of the will of God. Only God is truth feet, freedom

of Greece to act according to his.

Well, we could talk tonight about the fullness of Greece and

you see all that every sinner needs.

God freely pervades in the gospel message, everything that

is essential for salvation is bound up in the gospel.

It comes to us in the gospel of the grace of God.

You should think tonight of the matchless Greece.

We sometimes sing Amazing Grace, how, sweet decide.

Greece. To deal with and cover every one

of our sins Greece. That brings us to the knowledge

of God grace. That brings us into the state of

peace with God. Unto know, the peace of God.

There's the spring of the death of Christ.

So when you think of the death of Christ in Good Friday.

You think of God acting freely in Greece to give us his son.

I want you to think also of the source of the death of Christ.

If you look at our text that says in verse 4, according to

the will of God and our father. You see, here's the real reason

under root cause young people of the death of Christ and the

cross. It just didn't happen by

accident. It wasn't something willy-nilly.

It's wasn't just something that just happened out of the blue at

a certain point in history. No, it was according to the will

of God and our father. See the death of Jesus Christ

was not a mistake. Do you know that?

There's preachers? Tell the congregation that they

preached to every week that very thing, but the death of Christ

was not a mistake. It was certainly not a

miscarriage of human Justice. It was certainly not a mistake

or a failure. No, it was all part of the well,

and mind of God, and that from all eternity CeCe.

Let's remember. Everything is according to the

will of God. And our father, did you?

And I deserve to be saved you, and I didn't deserve to be

sieved. If we got our just deserts, from

the hand of God. God could have just sleep in

each of us and the lowest hell, no, man deserves or owns

anything from God, and of God had treated us according to our

sins deserve. He can adjust, we put us in hand

because you and I deserve the Lost hail.

We have no love for the Art, there's no spark of goodness in

us. If you think of the order here

grease and peace from God, our Father.

And from the Lord Jesus Christ. Look at verse 4, it mentions and

our father. You have to think of.

Eternity, you've got to think of the really Covenant of

redemption. You've got to think of an inter

trinitarian relationship between Father and Son, and Holy Spirit,

understand the Holy Spirit, guiding Paul superintending, the

rating of these words. So here he is.

And what does he mention? He mentions the father.

Because the father always speaks of tenderness, always speaks of

love, always speaks of Greece, always speaks of mercy and then

Spate of our sinfulness tiered, in spite of the fact that were

dead and send dark and in sin disease bison, totally bankrupt.

Listen to what Paul says in the Book of Romans in Romans 3 and

verse 10 as it is written there. Is none righteous.

No, not one. There's none that understandeth.

There is none that seeketh after God.

They're all gone out of the way they are.

Gather become unprofitable. There is none that doeth good.

No, not one for Roman nuns. I remembered a new Castle when I

was preaching there and one occasion, with the fifth

Mission. There was a company of nuns can

pass one day. And I must confess, I couldn't

resist myself. And I started mentioning this

portion of scripture. And I said, let me talk about

the Roman lumps here and listen to what the Bible says.

And I quote it those references, and I remember that day.

Here's the will of God being revealed to us.

There's none righteous. No, not one.

There's none that understandeth. There is none that seeketh after

God. They're all gone out of the way.

There are together become unprofitable is none that doeth

good. No, not one.

And listen to verse 24 being justified, freely by his grace

through the Redemption, that is in Christ Jesus.

There's not one shred of goodness.

And it's like, Joe we have to confess behold.

I am Veil. I'm God hasn't saved us because

there's any goodness. The truth is were devoid of any

goodness godward. We have no ability in her power

to render any goodness spiritually toward the lord.

And the good news of the Gospel, is this?

That at its source, it is bound up in the will of God.

That's what I'm going to call. The fundamental framework

through which God works. God works alone.

According to his well and the death of Christ and the cross

was according to the will of God and our father, and it was sad

from all. Eternity, doesn't Revelation.

Revelation 13:8

13:8. Talk about the lamb, slain from

before. The foundation of the world.

How is that possible? Them in the heart and mind of

God was already for day and then plan.

So there's the source that's another truth that we should

discover. I want you to think thirdly.

The sacrifice of the death of Christ.

If you look at verse forward, it says, who gave himself for our

sins, see good Freight. He's coming, would be thinking

about it. We're thinking about the death

of Christ and the cross. And as we think of the death of

Christ on the cross, what would you be thinking of?

As you think not only if the spring, the grace of God and the

source according to God's well, but you think of the sacrifice

of the death of Christ Christ? Actually, on the cross.

What sort of sacrifice was it? Well, it was a voluntary

sacrifice. It was a sacrifice above, any

other sacrifice that you could think of it stands Head and

Shoulders above every other sacrifice, It's a Wonderful

unique. Matchless sacrifice think of

these words, who gave himself, underlying the route of pruning

himself. He didn't give an angel.

He didn't send a cherub a seraphim.

He didn't even send the Archangel Michael or Gabriel.

You've got to think of us person here.

Who has a well, we've got his name is already under just to

us. We've been told in verse 3.

Our Lord Jesus Christ. It's not strange that he should

mention not in verse 3, our Lord Jesus Christ.

There's his full title Lord, refers to Daddy, Jesus refers to

his Humanity Christ. As his ministry, turned over

there to the last chapter of Galatians.

Look at chapter 6. And with me at Verse 18,

Brethren the grace of our Lord. Jesus Christ.

Be with your spirit. Oh, man.

Do you see that there as you think of as person hears the

neum that sent their just the Lord Jesus Christ, the one who's

Alpha and Omega from the very beginning to the end.

You've got this comprehensive title.

And as I've said, you've got to focus on those, Danny his

humanity and unders Ministry, all that.

He had all that he is was involved in, not voluntary,

sacrifice. His Incarnation.

God was manifest In the Flesh, his virgin birth, and the

fulness of time his sinless life.

He kept the law of God perfectly.

As we'll see in a moment, his atoning death.

So from his Incarnation, his birth, his life, his death.

All that he had, he gave himself to this one end and this one

goal, his heart and soul was in it.

His taint. His touch his life of

intercession as weeping and guess amening, when he prayed

openly and prayed profusely. Mmm.

And so passionately, that his sweat was mingled with drops of

blood when he prayed. He didn't offer crocodile tears.

There were hot burning tears. In other words, his heart was

and that he held nothing back. He was open.

He was almost he was genuine. He was sincere.

He voluntarily give himself. Right up to the Tama, give

himself on the tree freely, cheerfully voluntarily and all

that. He suffered.

It's a voluntary sacrifice. Let me tell you something else.

24, carry a sacrifice. Notice the wording here who gave

himself for our sins. It's not interesting arson.

You've got to think of the substitute taking our place, but

he wasn't just a substitute. He just didn't die in our stead.

He became our sacrifice who gave himself for our sins.

Do you know the on the cross? The Lord Jesus bore the

condemnation of the broken law. If you look at John chapter 3

John 3 · chapter mention

for a moment, it says in verse 18 these words and he that

believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth

not is condemned already because he has not believed in the name

of the only begotten, Son of God every unbeliever tonight stands

condemned already. They're guilty of the sin of

unbelief. And of course, doesn't the Bible

talk about unbelief in relation to the Book of Revelation, the

great white Throne, judgment, Revelation, 21 and verse 8.

It says, but the fearful And the unbelieving the abominable and

murderers and whoremongers and Sorcerers and idolaters and all

liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire

and brimstone, which is the second death due to the first

two that's mentioned the fearful the monitor woman boy or girl,

who knows as well as the heads in their body, need to repent

and receive Christ to be see him, but they don't because the

fear of man brings a snare on the unbelievers.

Hey, The roots and of unbelief as they are in their heart and

mind. And here's the Lord, Jesus on

the cross. And he come under the rod of

that condemnation. He was treated as if he had

transgressed himself and broken the law.

He stood in the place of condemnation.

He stood in the police of the lowest criminal over there and

Mark, chapter 14, and in the verse 64, we come across these

Mark 14 · chapter mention

words. I think it was interesting that

There's testimony came from the lips of ungodly, man.

This is what they said about Christ.

Mark, 14 verse 64. You have heard the blasphemy

Mark 14:64

what Finke and they all condemned him to be guilty of

death. Jesus Christ day does a

condemned mom. They condemned him to be guilty

of death and he was condemned for something that he didn't do.

He died for something that we did.

Harsh. And he took our sins and our

sorrows. He made them as very own bore,

the burden to Calvary suffered and died alone.

He bore the condemnation of the ruined.

Okay. I'll tell you something else

before the curse of the Brooklyn law.

What is sin? Sin is the transgression of the

law because of transgression and sin, all men are under the curse

of a. Holy God.

Listen to The Book of Deuteronomy Deuteronomy 27:26.

Deuteronomy 27:26

Khurshid be, he that confirm of not all the words of this law to

do them and all the people shall say, amen.

And over there in the book of Galatians and Galatians chapter

Galatians 3 · chapter mention

3 and verse 13. We read Christ has redeemed us

from the curse of the All they made a curse for us for it is

written. Cursed is every one that hangeth

on a tree you see transgression send an inequity places the

transgressor under a curse, the curse of the Brooklyn law and

the Lord. Jesus not only bore the

condemnation of the broken do but he stood in the police of

the curse and he took that curse fully upon himself.

And yes, he kept the law of God perfectly in this life.

He for felled, it's Precepts hehehe for felled.

Its penalty when he died. We were singing their free from

the law. Oh, happy condition.

Jesus. As Bland.

And there is rameshan cursed by the law.

Bruised by the Fall Grace, hath redeemed, us once for all he

bore the completeness of the Brooklyn law.

Notice it says, he gave himself for our sins.

Sins are in the plural. All our sins, not just some but

all every past sin every presents in sends of the

deepest, die sends even in the future.

Is it? Not written verse John 17, the

blood of Jesus Christ, his son cleanseth us from all sin.

Isn't it? Wonderful that he's Cleanse This

today? He cleansed as yesterday glory

to God. He Kansas tomorrow and he'll

keep on cleansing. What a sacrifice.

What A Savior think of all the a dead tonight and behalf of

Sinners, a substitute who took our please, a substitute that

was unique. That was once for all and and,

and they're not offering of himself.

It was a vicarious sacrifice and that he bore the condemnation of

the broken doll, the curse of the Brooklyn law and the

completeness of the Brooklyn law. the Brooklyn law, demanded

death and Christ data death unto the shedding of his blood.

See, the world tonight is no knowledge, or thought or ADF

what Sinners? They deny that sins.

The transgression of the law. They oppose the concept of sin.

Even try using the law through Parliament, to deny what sin has

But the book tells us Hebrews 10 and 12.

But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins

forever. Sat down in the right hand of

God. Let me tell you something.

Else is the Victorious, sacrifice?

If you think it up, link it up with 1:1?

Who raised him from the dead? He will be thinking and Easter

Sunday about the great doctrine of the Resurrection.

He is alive, there's Victory in Jesus.

There is power to be an overcomer and soul find him.

And you know what? The Lord Jesus held nothing

back. Give us all, not thinking of

himself along them. All of the spent in a spheres,

aren't to scourges back and and spank him to the tree.

And remember there. He could have called twelve

Legions of angels to deliver him, but he didn't why?

Because he had his eye and Victoria's prize.

And the prize was your salvation and mine that he was

accomplishing. It was a victorious sacrifice.

Let me say in closing not only think about the spring of the

death of Christ, the grace of God, and the source, according

to the will of God and the sacrifice who gave himself for

our sins, but think about the salvation of the death of

Christ. Notice the words in the text as

we finish that he might Deliver Us from this present, evil

world. You've got to think of Christ

delivering power. There's only one who can deliver

us. Only one who was good enough and

what is the word Deliver Us main?

Does it not presuppose that we're in danger unable to

deliver or rescue ourselves? Young people.

He came in a rescue mission. He came as a deliver to deliver

us. Here's one of the reasons he was

born to Deliver Us from this present, evil world, for the son

of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.

He said, I'm coming at you. Of life and you might have it

more abundantly and what a rescue mission.

Jesus Christ is involved in. Not only think of Christ

delivering parbat. Think of a dreadful police.

What does it mention this present evil world?

Do we not all leveled, an ungodly environment, is this

world? Not Pagan to its core.

It's this world not changing, not for the better, but for the

worse slowly. Think of 20 years ago, think of

30 years ago, some of your conduct back to the past.

And there's on a magical things been happening now and talked

about quite openly on the radio and on television.

Fashion and, and people can send to the point where their forget

even the blush. This world is a wicked world.

That's world is a world of wantonness, a world of Woe a

world under, the wrath of God, think of the pressure creases of

this agent. And those who wallow in the

filth and mire of The Siege. And yet the child of God.

He's being delivered from this ungodly environment through the

power of God has not what the drunkard needs.

Tonight, is. Not what they drug.

Addict needs is not what the Gambler needs rules and ruined

by there are tection and who can deliver them.

Are you of this Dreadful place? The this, this ungodly

environment, but will Christ. He's the only deliver Think of a

divine plan here. According to the will of God and

our father. Isn't it wonderful tonight that

Jesus Christ is not just a teacher.

Not just a leader. Not just a great example.

Jesus Christ is primarily a savior.

What was this purpose? Here's the divine plan,

according to the heart and mind of God.

We were chosen and craze from before the foundation of the

world. I said on Friday night to the

young people. I love the look.

Of course. I have to say that the follow

Jesus. No turning back.

No turning back. And I remember being in a

meeting and cooled region, and that was being emphasized, and I

was quite happy and pleased. I've decided to follow Christ to

become a Christian and was almost a ready to pop myself in

the back. Whenever they the man, then did

the flip side to that. Talking about human

responsibility in the renewed will be inclined to Christ and

asking for the desire come and then he turned to the other side

of the Arts and said here you are chosen and Christ Ephesians

Ephesians 1:4

1:4 from before the foundation of the world.

See remember gold working all things according to the counsel

of as well. Not according to the will of

man. Not according to the will of the

church. But according to his own will

there's a divine plan and not the vein plan is that we should

not live. According to the latest state of

the world. We should not use the language

of the world. We should not conform to the

image that has has for us why we should live, according to the

will of God because there's a master plan at work in

delivering us. We could finish with a thought

think of distinct pre is here. It says in verse 5 to him be

glory forever. And ever.

Amen. The glory of God is not not

Mounds Chief and the glory of God does it not say in the Book

of Revelation and Revelation chapter 4?

Revelation 4 · chapter mention

And verse 11. It makes this amazing statement.

Listen to these words as we finish Thou Art Worthy O, Lord

to receive glory and honor and power for thou Hast created all

things. And for thy pleasure, they are

and were created. Were created Anew in Christ.

Jesus to the glory of God time. We forgot to give him the glory.

Tell me, forget the give him a Prius but this is a distinct

Glory this would deserve glory in it only belongs to him to

him. Be glory forever and ever.

This is declared Glory. Paul's declaring it.

Unless a directed Glory. It's directed to the Lord alone.

Oh tonight, as we think about the death of Christ has become

the Good Friday, as we think about Jesus on the cross.

Think of these words who gave himself for our sins, why to

Deliver Us from this present, evil world.

And what was the cause what was the spring?

The source of that? That's according to the well of

God, our Father. I want you to think of this

salvation tonight. Have you experienced this

delivering par? To whom the son sets free is

free. Indeed has the sun set, you free

because you have bowed the knee. Before him.

You've owned your censorship. You've thanked them said, Lord.

Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins.

Lord. I love at an ungodly world, but

Lord, I want to be off the world, even though I have to

live in it. I want to live different and

distinct. You have a divine plan and

purpose for my life. Lord.

I Want To Live. According to your well what

pleases you that I made for fill?

The very purpose that you made me.

And glorify your name and enjoy you forever.

There's some thrift store. We need to discover about the

death of Christ. I trusted you discover them

tonight and the Lord will help and give understand.
