Galatians 3:15-29
As with yesterday I see a key verse: For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. (v. 21) Essentially, the Law could not give life; realistically, it could only give death. See the next verse: But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. (v. 22) Here’s how it reads in the New Living Translation: But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ. Again, salvation comes through faith in Jesus; works cannot make us righteous. Period.
Slava Bohu!
