Galatians 1-3
from Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike Hosted by Murphy Eyenike
A little explanation on how faith in God works and how it is alien the works of the law. "Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed. Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian. For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. " Galatians 3:23-26 NLT. Need I say anything else? "We are children of God through faith in Christ Jesus", that is so profound. The law was needed until Christ came. The moment he did, the law is not needed anymore, not even for pointing out people's sin, we now have the Holy Spirit. Trying to obtain righteousness and acceptance to God by obeying the law is like preparing for an exam using the old syllabus, failure is guaranteed. "Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.” Galatians 2:16 NLT. The law's way is obsolete, it was not working, then grace through Christ came. So why choose to go back to what was not working?
