Accept or Accepted?

S-We Are Still Sinners

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

A-The truth that you are free in Christ

L-Reality

       "But what if we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then find out that we are still sinners? Has Christ led us into sin? Of course not! Rather, I make myself guilty if I rebuild the old system I already tore down." Galatians 2:17-18

The law is something tangible, so to speak. It is posted on buildings, books, signs, and we see it enforced in our everyday lives. Faith goes beyond the tangible. Faith goes beyond on a list of do's and don'ts.

So, what is Paul trying to get across in these two passages?

1. We are sinners.
2. Our human efforts, apart from Christ, accomplish nothing.
3. Don't get caught up again in trying to earn God's favor through good works alone.

Where are you at today, brethren? Are you trying to earn God's favor or are you living a life of faith through Christ who has accepted you?
