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. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? GOD forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the Law am dead to the Law, that I might live unto GOD. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of GOD, who loved me, and gave Himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of GOD: for if righteousness come by the Law, then Christ is dead in vain. (Gal 2:16-21)
The Law of GOD cannot save us, nor was it meant to, for GOD gave it because of Israel's sIn. The Law of GOD is to bring us to Christ and show us our need of Him, for we cannot keep the Law, for if we break one part we are guilty of all, and all are sinners before GOD and therefore, apart from Christ, we are condemned already. But the grace of GOD extended to those who have put their faith and trust in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary is sufficient for our Salvation and our only access to GOD our Father.
Adding to grace anything we would do, either frustrates the grace of GOD, or denies Jesus Christ and His great Salvation. We cannot add to what GOD has already completed, for He has done it all and satisfied the justice of GOD for our justification. We are to live in Him by faith, and do His will in obedience to Him and through Him for the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son is now our righteousness, for by His stripes we were healed. We who have put on Christ, are to live surrendered lives, crucified to the flesh, and glorifying Him in all that we do until He takes us Home to be with Him.
Until we see Him face to face, we are to do His work and will here, in this lost and dying world, but not of it. As ambassadors of the Kingdom of GOD, we are to minister to those who are hurting and in need, that they may see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. As members one of another, we are to disciple one another in the Word of GOD and love one another as Christ loved us. As ministers of reconciliation we are to take the Gospel to those who do not know Him, and as we go, proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, that those who hear and believe, repenting of their sIn, and turning to GOD in faith may have forgiveness and eternal life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
