Imagine you wanted to study medicine at a certain university. Imagine you made enquiries and they said that as long as you pass the entrance examination then you can go to that university to do medicine and say you passed the entrance examination. "I'm in!" you think. "I'm okay". But then they say, yes, but you also need three A*s at A level or you need to be interviewed as well to see if we like you or whatever. That would not be right. Either passing the entrance examination is enough or it is not enough. The false teachers in Galatia were saying, yes, faith in Christ saves but there are these other things you need to do as well. There is a plus. The truth is either Christ is enough or Christ is not enough.
How are you saved? By Christ or by Christ plus something else? We must know it is by Christ alone.
