Faith Counts

This sermon explores the book of Galatians, focusing on Christian liberty and the central theme of righteousness through faith alone. The pastor emphasizes that God's "faith credit system" works in reverse from worldly systems—believers receive perfect spiritual standing not through earning or performance, but through faith credited to their account. Using Abraham as the primary example, the message demonstrates that righteousness has always been credited by faith, not earned through works or law-keeping. Abraham believed God before he was circumcised (when he was still a Gentile), making him the spiritual father of all who believe—both Jew and Gentile. The sermon challenges believers to stop striving for spiritual acceptance and start trusting in what God has already credited to them, developing an "Abrahamic level of hearing faith" that connects them to God's global promise of blessing for all nations.
