01/15/2024: Galatians 3:13-14 – Salvation by keeping the law and living by faith are mutually exclusive.

Thought for today – Salvation by keeping the law and living by faith are mutually exclusive.

The Law and faith are mutually exclusive, and calling these Galatian believers to return to the law was excluding them from the blessings and promises of faith.  It is a logical impossibility to believe in Christ for one’s redemption and then expect to earn the power of the Holy Spirit through keeping the law.  When Jesus Christ died for us as our perfect sacrifice, He redeemed us from the curse of the law.  Christ took on Himself our curse so Gentiles apart from the law might receive the blessings of Abraham, and that all who believe in Jesus Christ might receive the Holy Spirit through faith. 

That’s what the Book says!
