A New Creation Boasting in the Cross

Galatians 6:11-17

Pew Bible Pg. 948

I. Paul’s love for the Galatians is evident in his final words.

A. He warns them again of the Judaizers (workers of the flesh). vs. 12-13

B. Paul desires peace, mercy, and grace to be upon them. vs. 16, 18, 1:3

II. The importance of keeping the main thing the main thing. vs. 14, 1:4

A. The world’s system cannot define us or determine our future. vs. 14, 2:19-20

B. We are a new creation. vs. 15, II Cor. 5:13-19

III. We must determine to follow Jesus no matter what the cost. vs. 17

A. Our life must be defined by Jesus Christ. Phil. 1:18-25

B. Only then will we be truly free.

Have I been boasting in something or someone other than Jesus and the cross?
