My friend, I’m going to be in heaven someday. And I’m not going to be there because Vernon McGee is a nice little boy. He’s not. You just don’t know me like I know myself. If you did, you’d tune your radio out. But wait a minute. Don’t tune it out. Because if I knew you like you know yourself, well I wouldn’t speak to you. So let’s stay together, will you? Because we’re both in the same boat, by the way. We’re all lost sinners. And the reason that I’m going to be in heaven is not because I joined the church. The reason I’m going to be in heaven is because of the mercy of God. I’m a lost sinner. And until you and I are willing to come to God as a nobody and then let Him make us a somebody, you and I’ll never get saved.
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
