The main passage in the video is Galatians 2:11-21 – read online via Bible Gateway.

This week we are starting a new series on Justification. Justification is one of the most important issues in the Christian life, and yet many people do not spend much time thinking about it. At the time of the reformation, 500 years ago, it was described as the doctrine on which the reformation would stand or fall. Why is it so important? In this new series we are using a document produced nearly 500 years ago – the 39 Articles (part of the founding documents of the Church of England) – to explore this doctrine and why it remains so important for us today.
