Grace Alone - Part 2: Man's Approval. God's Glory.
Pastor Matt Bell
Galatians 1:10-24
In Part 2 of Grace Alone, Pastor Matt shares from Galatians on a trait we all have as humans - the desire for man's approval. The problem with this tendency occurs when this goes unchecked and we care more about what other people think about us than what God does. We end up serving ourself rather than Christ. Living for our own glory, rather than God's.
Living for the approval of others can lead you down a dangerous path. This caused some in the Galatian church to accept Jesus + Something. They distorted the Gospel because they were seeking man's approval. But when we are willing to surrender the pursuit of our own glory, God is glorified. Who will receive praise for your life? YOU or GOD?
