You can turn with me in your Bibles to the book of Galatians. Galatians chapter 2. We've been working through the book of Galatians on the occasional Sunday evening here as we see Paul's defense of the doctrine of justification by faith alone. And we don't by that mean that we're uh speaking against the the chronology the the flow of time as if Paul was a reformer. But if he was in the se 16th and 17th century no doubt he'd be a reformer. But the doctrine of justification by faith alone is is simply that and it is a biblical doctrine. We don't wait you know 1600 years for this doctrine to be put forth by Protestants as if rubbing against the flow of history. but rather this doctrine comes from God through divine revelation as the only way by which anyone was ever justifi just justified in the sight of God uh from Adam to the last breathing elect individual sinners from every tribe tongue and people and nation are saved by virtue of the perfect work of Christ imputed to them and received by faith alone and the apostle Paul we have been in this section where the apostle is giving an autobiographical defense of the true and saving gospel.
