The Benefits of Righteousness

Oct 22, 2025    Pastor Steven Pettis Jr

When Paul warns the Galatians about trading grace for works, he doesn’t just expose the danger; he reminds believers of what they lose when they do. In this message, The Benefits of Righteousness, Pastor Steve unpacks the blessings that belong to every believer who lives by grace through faith: a life through the Spirit, empowered, not exhausted; a life by faith, trusting not striving; and a life with hope, patiently waiting for the fulfillment of God’s promise.

 

Paul closes by showing the power behind it all, faith working through love. True righteousness is not achieved but received, and when grace takes hold of the heart, it produces love that acts, serves, and endures.
