The Only Gospel That Saves
August 14th, 2022 • Wes Pastor • Galatians 2:1–21
Sermon Theme: Though Satan continually assaults the gospel of Christ in order to cause us to doubt or even reject it, justification by faith alone remains the only thing that saves sinners.

B. Specifics of Gospel Clarification (2:15-21)
