NextLevel Online: Galatians

Taking the Doctrine of Justification Personally

Session 9 talks about justification. It explains how our worth is defined not by what other people think of us but by what God thinks of us. Let's get justified not by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus, who expressed God's grace by dying on our behalf.

Taking the Doctrine of Justification Personally

  • Opening Thoughts:

    • Galatians is relentlessly logical, which is both...

    • Galatians 2:15-21 one (or four) more time(s)!

  • Two steps to taking “justification” personally –

    • Let God’s opinion of you define you.

    • Let Christ’s death define God’s opinion of you.

  • Justification then and now...

    • Justification is not just a religious thing. It’s a human thing.

    • The question is not if you seek justification, but how.

  • Let the of Christ tell you who you .

Discussion Questions:

  1. If you could go back and speak to a younger version of yourself, what would you say? Why?
  2. What are two truths you believe but you haven’t thought about in a while? What difference could it make for your life if you thought about them more often?
  3. When you’ve heard the word “justification” (before the video), what have you understood that to mean?
  4. Which of the two “justification” truths is harder for you to believe? Why?
  5. Do you really believe that God’s opinion of you defines your worth? Do you really believe Christ’s death determines God’s opinion of you?
