Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.

All right, day two of the Daily Blade in Galatians chapter two.

We're just going to look at two verses, verses four and five. It says, and yet, because of false

brothers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ

Jesus so that they might bring us into slavery.

To them, we did not yield in submission even for a moment so that the truth of the gospel

might be preserved for you. See, what Paul is going to do is he is going to stand firm on the gospel,

not the opinion of man, not the opinion

of society, not these false teachers that have weaseled their way into the church. As we studied

two weeks ago in Galatians 1, Paul makes it very clear that he was not pursuing the applause of man, but he was pursuing the applause of God.

Because if you pursue the applause of man, you cannot be a servant of God.

You see, Paul stands on the truth of the gospel, the unique claims of Christ, that Jesus

is the way of the truth in the life and no one comes

to the Father except through Him, that the way that a person is saved is we are saved by grace

through faith.

We are not saved by our works.

That includes any work.

But we are saved by Christ alone through faith alone, period in God. So make sure that you were at a church

that preaches the gospel, the life, death, and resurrection, and return of Christ for your redemption.

If you're listening to pastors online and if there is not a regular preaching of the gospel,

then you are listening to the wrong preachers. You see, the Bible says in Matthew that Jesus preached the gospel of the gospel, then you are listening to the wrong preachers.

You see, the Bible says in Matthew that Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom of heaven.
