Evening Series: Proclaiming, Defending, Living The Gospel – Galatians

The Three Signs of a Drifting Christianity

 Galatians 4:8-20

1. A loss of devotion to the truth of God. Galatians 4:8-11

            *We must never forget how God’s devotion found us.

            *We must consider the spiritual health of our devotion.

2. A loss of a definite sense of God. Galatians 4:12-16

Note how this sense of God diminishes.

            *Our love for God’s people grows cold.

            *Our love for God’s Word grows cold.

3. A loss of direction in pursuit of God. Galatians 4:18-20

            *Loss of direction is accompanied by distraction.

            *Loss of direction is amplified by distance.

            *Loss of direction is reversed when we desire Christ.

4. How do we reverse “drifting away”?

            *Renounce.

            *Repent.

            *Return to the cross.
