Gal 3 part whatever the grace of God saveds
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
Hi there and lets just get into the word tonight. I am in Gal 3 and Paul is taking about the truth that we are saved by the Loving grace of God. Grace is never earned but is given to us as a free gift. The Jews at this time wanted to make all the new Christians Jews and make them follow the laws of the Jews but Paul is making a case that is not a good and it is a insult to the grace of God. So in the chapter of the book Paul has rebuked them for the fact that the law is not how they came to the saving faith and gained the Holy Spirit but it was from Grace and that is the free gift of God.
Paul in this section is talking about the works of the law and how they relate to our salvation. In a phase they have nothing to do with our salvation in any way. Jesus on the cross is the reason alone one is saved. In order of being saved in the law one has to never break the laws of God. So if you lust one time or you cuss one time you break the whole law of God. If you tell one lie or fail to love Jesus in the right way or steal one penny you are not saved and you broke the whole law of God and paying with your works will cost you forever out of the Lords heaven or better put Hell forever. Your in other word in debt to God all you are forever out if his sight. Jesus came to pay the fine and make you Just as you never sinned one time or Justified. SO in this you do not live in the Laws of God to keep salvation but you live for God because of your thankful heart to Jesus. You are to live in faith and not by works. Faith is the thing that God wants from you now not obeying the laws and not a strict kind of obeying. God wants a relationship like a father to you. You are made right so live in faith to the son of God enjoying your walk with Jesus and loving him more each day by doing what he asked knowing in this you show you love Jesus. In this you are working your part of obeying the Gospel.
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.[1]
So how did Jesus redeem us? He did it is the worst way and that is being hanged out as one that had been rejected. Jesus became your sin and a curse to the God of heaven. Jesus became a curse to the devil the day he died because he payed for anyone that will come to Jesus and know they are hopelessly lost and have no possible way to be in the right side of God. Sinners must know there is no way out other then the one provided by in Jesus dieing and taking their sin and paying for it. We in getting to the point have the promise of Abraham and are poised to inherit all God is and ever will be in heaven and on the earth. We as the saved are given the absolute whole promise of God that is given to all his people. And we cannot earn it. We are not Jews but we have the rights as Jews in Jesus and all he is and evermore will be. We are given the Holy Spirit to dwell in us forever and produce our fruit in us to give to God. Our faith might not even be a lot but if we have any true faith all of God is in us and we have the Living God dwelling inside of us. Friend we have the total blessing of God in every possible way Just for having a little bit of faith.
