Theme for the Week: JUSTIFICATION NOT BY LAW
Reading: Galatians 5:1-6
_______________________
Galatians 5:4 (NIV)
You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
When a person tries to be justified by the Law, he is like someone who enslaves themselves in spit of the freedom granted. It is like when the dog goes back to eat what it has vomited.
Instead of being alienated from sin, you become alienated from Christ, making Christ of no effect unto you. Also, you become a debtor to do the whole Law, for which without faith in the Lawgiver, there is no salvation in it.
Dear friend, it is about time we put up faith which works by love. It is about time we focused on Christ, who will help us get closer to God by imputing on us righteousness, and helping us to walk in them, rather than focusing on the Law that always draws us away from God.
Stay blessed.
Let's Pray:
Abba Father, we thank You. Lord, keep us in faith which works by love, in Jesus' name. Amen.
