Legalism and Assurance
Summary
The sermon addresses the common pitfall of legalism in the Christian life, even for those who believe in salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. Citing Paul's letter to the Galatians and his own self-examination, it warns against relying on personal actions for spiritual standing. The takeaway is to live in the joy and assurance of God's saving and sanctifying grace, which sustains believers all the way to glory.
