Summary

When you become a Christian, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead comes into you spiritually, internally. You have the power to change. You have an unsurpassed power to change. So we have to ask ourselves right away, “Are we settling for too little?” I mean, how much have you changed so far? The power that raised Jesus from the dead, that broke the bands of death, is in you. Now, how does it actually work? Let’s look at 1) the signs of spiritual deadness, 2) the signs of spiritual life, and 3) how you move over from death to life. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 12, 1998. Series: Galatians: New Freedom, New Family. Scripture: Galatians 5:13-25. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

0:00.0	Welcome to Gospel and Life. Is being a Christian just about moral transformation or a pathway to the good life?
0:10.0	Tim Keller looks at the Book of Galatians to demonstrate how the Christian life is so much more than that.
0:15.2	It's about how Christ transforms us in a radical and life-changing way.
0:19.6	Throughout this month, Tim Keller will be teaching from the Book of Galatians and how the Gospel transforms us. Turn with me to the passage on which the teaching is based tonight. I discovered a
0:37.1	tradition, you know we don't have many at Redeemer and I'm always looking for
0:41.0	one and I found one. Actually I didn't realize it was until this I was thinking
0:48.5	about this and that is every every Easter the morning service focuses on the objective reality of the resurrection, the objective
0:58.0	miracle Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. We are going to be raised from the dead. However in the
1:05.1	evening service we focus on the subjective aspect of the resurrection.
1:10.2	That the resurrection is not just an objective miracle in our past and in our future out there,
1:16.3	but it's a subjective miracle within.
1:18.7	That's why we have testimonies in the evening service every year, always have, and that's the reason why usually the teaching also focuses
1:28.2	on that, and actually that's the tradition.
1:32.2	But I also noticed when I looked at all my evening, Easter evening
1:35.8	sermon, some of which are five minutes long, back when we used to have 18 testimonies.
1:41.6	I also notice another tradition which I like to break tonight and
1:46.7	that is that ordinarily I'm very general. I talk about it. We don't talk about
1:51.3	how it happens. what is the spiritual resurrection
1:54.0	now that's the reason why we're continuing with the
1:58.0	our series on Galatians and you know every night every every Sunday fact that every sermon I look out there I see a variety of people and and I always have to kind of look toward one kind of person or another sometimes I switch off inside a sermon. Have ever noticed that? Sometimes I'm
2:14.2	looking for people who might be newer at this, to whom this whole line of teaching, or just
2:20.2	looking at the Christian faith is a new thing that sometimes I look to some of you
