Having given the churches of Galatia a reminder of the true gospel in his short introduction, the Apostle Paul now turns quickly to the subject which he wants to address throughout the rest of this whole letter; the subject of their beginning to turn away from God's grace in the true gospel of Jesus Christ. There were some false teachers who had come to the churches of that province in Asia Minor; teachers who were teaching a different gospel; a gospel which was a perversion of the true one. The best way to know if you have believed the true gospel is to put the other one being preached right up along side of it, and the difference will be clearly seen.

So this afternoon we want to look 1st of all – At the difference between the common grace of the general call versus the grace of the effectual call. And then 2nd – I want to show you the difference between the gospel of grace and the gospel of works.
