Tim Keller sermons (these two sermons were delivered on consecutive Sundays back in 1997):
- I No Longer Live the Life I Live (Galatians 2:14-21)
- Justified Sinners (Galatians 2:17-21)
Discussion Topics
- It seems that these two verses are the conclusion of an argument that runs from verses 11-21. What is the background and context of these two verses?
- Why does Paul think it is so important that Gentile Christians not be coerced into following the Jewish law?
- How do you think the development of the Church might have been different if Paul's view had not prevailed?
- What does it mean to say "I no longer live, but Christ lives in me". How do you think this relates to John's use of the phrase "born again" (for example, in John 3:3-8)? How does it relate to what Paul says in Romans 8:9 or 2 Corinthians 5:17?
- How can we be crucified with Christ ... and no longer live but have Christ live in us?
