'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 all the families of the earth through him. We, as Children of Abraham receive the blessings through the redemptive work of Christ Jesus on the cross.
All who are in Christ are justified - made righteous in the eyes of God, as a result of our faith in Christ.
We ought to search the Scriptures for ourselves, for in them we find the truth; with the aid of the Holy Spirit to guide us into that truth, so we will not be deceived in the face of error.
The Word of God said, "The just shall live by faith." By living by faith in Christ we need to keep the commandments of God and do them, even though the law in itself cannot save us.
All who that are made righteous, not by their own works, but by the obedience of Christ, unto death, the death of the cross, and his righteousness; by their faith in Him, will live eternally and not experience the second death. Let us seek to live a life of faith and obedience, to the honour and glory of God, so we can live eternally with Christ when he returns.
Have a wonderful day
Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...
