'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
'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
