Galatians 3
from Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike Hosted by Murphy Eyenike
There are two paths available to everyone seeking to become righteous; through faith or the law. The scriptures declares, "it is through faith that a righteous person has life" Habakkuk 2:4. This way is very different from the way of the law, which says, "it is through obeying the law that a person has life." Leviticus 18:5. Paul's argument is simple, no one can be made right with God by trying to become righteous through keeping the law, this is because the law condemns everyone that breaks even one single law. However, the way of faith says; "but Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the scriptures, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." Through Christ Jesus, God blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith." Galatians 3:13-14. The way of faith says Christ took you place on that cross, you have been redeemed. The choice should be simple really; I know my choice, I choose faith in Christ Jesus over the law, what about you?
