Why Does God Do Nothing?

Sermon
The Freedom of Hope
Tim Keller | March 22, 1998
Overview
Most people think the job of religion is to call people into a life of morality. But Paul says that’s not what Christianity is at all.
Gospel transformation is completely different than moral reformation. In Galatians 5, Paul says there are two different reasons you could obey God—and the reason for your obedience makes all the difference in the world.
Paul tells us 1) there is a wrong reason for moral obedience, and it enslaves us, and 2) there is a whole other engine for obedience, and it is hope and love.
