This sermon explores Galatians 5:1-9 and addresses the tendency to add human effort to the gospel of grace. Pastor Jon Welch explains what the gospel is, why adding anything to Jesus' finished work actually undermines salvation, and how performance-based Christianity leads to spiritual exhaustion. The message covers three deadly results of trying to earn salvation through religious works, the difference between law and grace, and what it means to have "faith working through love." Key topics include justification by faith, the freedom Christ provides, and how to recognize when we've fallen into the trap of performance-based religion.
