Beware the False Gospel of Faith Plus Works – Galatians 5:1–5
In this brief excerpt from the course, Grace, Not Law: Galatians, Dr. Barber discusses how adding any works – of the flesh and/or of the law – to Jesus' finished work on the Cross, is to claim that Jesus and His Cross are insufficient, are not enough.
No, the Gospel truth is that Jesus and what He did at the Cross are indeed enough. He completed the once for all work of salvation there. And God's requirement for our salvation and security in Jesus forever is simply and solely faith in Jesus and what He has already done for us. Amen.
Have you trusted in Jesus, thus becoming a member of Him, with His righteousness and life and freedom imputed to you, instead of your sins that once imprisoned and condemned you to eternal damnation?

Why is there Suffering and Death?

Jesus Corrects the Jewish Leaders' Abuse of Moses' Law – Mark 7:1–37
In this brief excerpt from the course, Jesus and Myth, Dr. Barber discusses how, in Mark 7:1–37, we see how Jesus donates correction of terrible mistakes by the leaders of Israel, who have been abusing God's Word, Moses' Law, by making the traditions of men of greater authority than God's Word.
Israel's leadership has the opportunity to receive their Messiah-King's correction, and thus become faithful to the LORD's Word, but they refuse.
As Jesus leaves Israel for a spell, to create distance and diffuse the scandal of Israel's leaders, a Gentile woman comes to Jesus to ask Him to cast a demon out of her daughter. Jesus demonstrates His identity as the Almighty Creator God in that encounter, while teaching critical dispensational truth.
Are you trusting today in the one true God, who also took on flesh and dwelt among us, our LORD Jesus Christ? For more: www.togetherinchristu.com
