Clothed in His Righteousness Alone
Galatians 1:6-9
A sermon for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
The hymn, “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less,” is based on the parable in Matthew 7:24-27 about the wise man who built his house on the rock; “and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall because it had been built on the rock.” In contrast, the foolish man “built his house on the sand; and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it.”
