Faith or the Law?

S-Galatians 2:16

S-"So Christ has really set us free. Now make sure you that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law." Galatians 5:1

A-Live by faith

L-Saved by Faith NOT the Law

     "And yet we Jewish Christians know that we become right with God, not by doing what the law commands, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be accepted by God because of our faith in Christ and not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be saved by obeying the law." Galatians 2:16

If we can grasp and walk away with anything from this verse, let it be that the law does not save us. The law is in place to help guide us and set up boundaries that will protect us.

It is our faith in Christ that saves us.

Are you living by faith or living by the law?

It's not about your good works. It's about your faith and relationship with Christ.

S-Encourage someone to grow in their faith and relationship with Christ rather than by trying to earn favor by obeying the law.
