In Galatians 3:1–9, Pastor John Murphy explains that we do not begin following Jesus by fixing ourselves, but by trusting in what Christ has already done. He emphasizes that we also do not grow through self-effort, but by relying on the Spirit, even though we naturally drift back into trying to prove ourselves through performance. Using Abraham as an example, the message shows that faith has always been the way, reminding us that Jesus alone changes us and sustains us.
