In this sermon, the preacher focuses on the letter to the Galatians and the basics of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that the gospel is based on grace, not law, and that good works do not earn eternal life. The preacher also highlights the importance of personal surrender to Christ and how it should inspire a conduct aligned with that surrender. He uses the example of a servant who works all day and then serves his master before eating to illustrate the concept of surrender and the absence of merit in salvation.

Martin Luther emphasizes the transformation that comes from encountering Christ, using Paul's personal testimony as an example. Paul, once a zealous defender of the Pharisaic traditions, shares how he abandoned his former ways after realizing the insufficiency of righteousness through the Law. Luther highlights the radical change in Paul's life, from persecuting the church to becoming a fervent follower of Christ, illustrating the power of God's grace to transform even the most hardened hearts. The sermon underscores the importance of recognizing our own inadequacy in achieving righteousness and the necessity of relying on God's grace for true transformation and salvation.

H.J. Vine preaches about the importance of holding onto the faith once delivered to the saints, using the conversion of Paul as an example of God's grace and the need to fight the good fight of faith till the end. He warns against the love of money leading to apostasy and the departure from the true faith, emphasizing the necessity to contend earnestly for the faith amidst widespread corruption and imitations. Vine highlights that the faith is not a human invention but a divine revelation, urging believers to walk by faith in Jesus Christ, the invisible Head of the faith, and to keep themselves in the love of God while eagerly awaiting His return.
