DO WE BECOME JUSTIFIED/RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD ... |
... by Our Own Works of the Law? |
... by Faith in Christ's Work for Us? |
Gal. 3:10 = Those trying to be justified by their own "righteous" life are doomed (cursed) because of their inability to completely obey. |
Gal. 3:11 = No one can be justified by works of the law, because justification comes by faith. |
Would you rather die under a curse? |
Or live by faith? |
Gal. 3:12 = The Law involves practicing a set of rules and does not require faith. |
Gal. 3:13-14 = As our substitute, Christ took the curse pronounced by the Law so that the blessings promised through Abraham could come to those who believe. |
