Theme for the Week: JUSTIFICATION NOT BY LAW
Reading: Galatians 3:10-14
_______________________
Galatians 3:11 (KJV)
[11]But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Faith, according to the English Dictionary, is the trust in somebody's ability or knowledge. It is the trust that somebody/something will do what has been promised.
Since the Law was not the one who promised us righteousness and salvation, but the Lord God, who gave the Law, we cannot put our trust in the Law to save us.
Apparently, the Law only condemns, since breaking one means breaking all; and it has no means of reversing this condemnation.
The just shall live by faith; faith in Jesus Christ, who took upon Himself the curse of the Law that we will be justified in the presence of God. Selah.
Let's Pray:
Abba Father, we thank You. Lord, keep us in faith which works by love, in Jesus' name. Amen.
