Connected in Christ Through Faith

Shiloh Church · Jacksonville, FL Preached Sunday, Aug 16, 2026 Galatians 3:26-29

In this message from Galatians 3:26-29, Pastor Charles teaches that genuine salvation connects believers both to Christ and to the church. Drawing on Paul's letter to the Galatians, he explains that every Christian, regardless of ethnicity, social standing, or gender, is an adopted son of God, baptized into Christ, and an heir according to God's promise. The sermon calls the church to live out its unity in Christ and to find confidence not in personal performance but in the unbreakable promises of God.

Questions this sermon answers

How do I know I truly belong to God and not just a church?

According to Galatians 3:26-29, you belong to God through faith in Christ alone, not through rituals, church membership, or good works. When you trust Christ, you are spiritually baptized into him, adopted as a son of God, and become an heir of his promises, regardless of your background.

Why does the Bible say the church should be unified across racial and social lines?

Galatians 3:28 teaches that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female. The gospel reconciles people who were previously divided. Worldly categories like race, class, or sex should never divide Christians because all believers share one Lord, one faith, and one inheritance.

What does it mean to be an heir of God according to the Bible?

Being an heir of God means you are in his will, not based on your performance but on his promise. First Peter 1:3-4 describes an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven. It cannot be contested by family, taxed by government, or diminished by inflation.
