Why did the Lord Jesus call publicans and sinners and eat with them? He came to minister to them. The gospel is really for those who recognize their need. There are some people today that are too good to be saved. Did you know that? That is, they think they are. I want to speak very frankly. If you recognize that you have a need, then the gospel’s for you. Christ can save you, and He will save you. And if you’re self-sufficient, you recognize no need, may I say to you just go on your self-chosen pathway. It’ll lead you to destruction; the message is not for you. I’m very sorry. I wish I had a message for you, but I don’t have a message for folks like that.
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.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
