What could be greater?

It’s a Christmastime tradition here at girltalk to recommend a sermon for you to listen to over the holidays—while you are wrapping presents, baking cookies, or eating candy canes (like me).
This year we're featuring a message my dad gave at Covenant Life Church earlier this month that was incredible! It was based on Galatians 4:4-5, a verse Nicole alluded to last week.
This quote by J.I. Packer provides a hint about the content:
“Justification is the primary blessing [of the gospel] because it meets our primary spiritual need. We all stand by nature under God’s judgment; his law condemns us; guilt gnaws at us, making us restless and miserable, and in our lucid moments afraid; we have no peace in ourselves because we have no peace with our Maker. So we need the forgiveness of our sins, and assurance of a restored relationship with God, more than we need anything else in the world…To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but ________ is greater.”
What could be greater than justification? Listen and find out.
