They Are Both Significant, But Only One Saves

S-Until it was Shown

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-God's Word

L-Guarded

"Until faith in Christ was shown to us as the way of becoming right with God, we were guarded by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until we could put our faith in the coming Savior." Galatians 3:23

On the other side of the Cross, God put into place the law. The law would have several purposes.

1. Reveal man's sinfulness

2. Act as a guard, and protective shield 

3. Point to Christ

4. Teach us right from wrong

On this side of the Cross, God sent His Son Christ, whom revealed that life comes through faith in Him. Faith has three purposes.

1. To save us from death because of our sinfulness.

2. To set us free from the bondage of sin and the law.

3. To make us right with God, through Christ's sacrifice. 

Both have significant purposes, but only one saves us!

S-With faith comes obedience. Are you aware that both are a requirement and command from God? Share with your family why both must be lived out.
