 'Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you justified by the law, ye are fallen from grace'
(Galatians 5:4).

We are justified by faith in Christ, who is our Righteousness.
Some people believed they are justified by following the law. Such thinking is not acceptable to by God.
We are asked to trust in Christ rather than following the law and become slaves to it.
When we add works to faith in Christ, we are saying, we do not trust fully in Him, therefore we missed out on the grace of God.
Grace comes through a living faith in Christ, and there is no other means to salvation.
When we trust in Christ we have freedom from the bondage of sin and is no longer slaves to it.
However, when we choose to follow the law or be justified by the law, we have not attain to the law of righteousness which is in Christ.
Let us try not to make ourselves right with God by keeping the law; we will be alienated from Christ and fall from grace.
All who accept Christ is justified by receiving salvation as a free gift from God - by faith in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. This is a free gift of God's grace, given to all who will believe on Christ.
We have a choice to either accept the free gift of salvation through grace, or keeping the entire law. Choose God's free gift of grace today, it is so worth it!  Let us trust in Christ alone for our salvation, so we will not be cut off from the only way to be saved - the free gift of God's grace by faith in Jesus Christ. When we come to Christ by faith, God declares us to be righteous, as we trust in Christ alone for our salvation. Won't you trust Jesus and be saved eternally?

Have a wonderful day

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

 'For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise the Lord' (Psalm 117:2). The most important thing in life is having a relationship with God. It is through this relationship that we get to know our Maker and experience His love and His truth. When we recognised what God has truly done for us; of his great love and his faithfulness towards us; it should lead us to give Him praise and extol His holy name. God is kind to all his creatures and merciful to us as sinners, therefore, we know his merciful kindness is great towards us. In Christ, God has shown his mercy mixed with kindness, in giving up his Son to save us from our sins. For even though our sins be great, God's mercy is even greater than the sin. God's truth endures forever as his promises are sure. He is not slack concerning His promises to His people. He is trustworthy and faithful. The faithfulness and truth of God given in his promises never fails; nor does t...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
