START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Galatians 2:15-16
We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
JUSTIFIED BY … FAITH / GALATIANS 2:15-16
This is a key issue in Paul’s letter to the Galatians (just as it was in his letter to the Romans, Romans 3 – 8). Paul deals here with the question of how sinners can be justified (forgiven of their sins, accepted by God and put in a right relationship with Him). This will happen not by “observing the law” or following religious routines, but by a living and active faith in Christ Jesus. Paul is not saying that the law is not “holy, righteous and good” (Romans 7:12). But he argues against using the law as a basis for trying to gain favor or acceptance with God. Salvation by faith, because of God’s grace (His unearned favor), is the essence of the true message of Christ (Romans 3:20, 28; Philippians 3:9).
