How Faith Works.

Galatians 5:6

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

Introduction:

If someone asked you to find one verse in the New Testament that would sum up the Christian life, which one would you pick? Galatians 5:6 does quite nicely I think. Tucked nicely away in the last part of that verse is an important dynamic to the Christian life that we want to dig up and hold up to the light. We want to find out, 'How Christianity Works."

I Faith- Where we start.

II Love- The pure path

III How Faith works;

A) The Christian Work Ethic.

B) The work of the Lord.

1) The right perspective

a) Slaves of Christ

b ) Paul, James, Peter......all slaves.

c) Jesus Christ; a slave

Conclusion: God is not looking for a few good men. He is looking for alot of willing slaves who count it a privilege to do His bidding because of the great salvation He has provided for them. Even if it means toiling thru the evening with no apparent success.
