Chapters

The sermon explores the apparent contradiction between law and grace in Christianity, emphasizing the tension and release this paradox can bring.

Shownotes Transcript

The gospel insists on putting two things together that no other religion tries to put together, that all other human categories of thought insist is impossible.

How is it possible to have both law and grace in your life? It’s a striking apparent contradiction. In fact, if it doesn’t create some tension in you, you’ll never experience the glorious release Christianity can give.

I’d like to pose the central question Paul asks in Galatians 3: is the law opposed to grace? I’d like to show you 1) the significance of the question and 2) the significance of the answer.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 25, 1998. Series: Galatians: New Freedom, New Family. Scripture: Galatians 3:19–29.
