Jesus Can.---Galatians 2:15–21We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. (ESV)---In “Faith Works” on Galatians 2:15–21, Pastor Jed Gillis explains that our standing with God is not earned by “works of the law” or any human performance, but given through faith in Jesus Christ. Justification means God declares you accepted and approved, not because you met a standard, but because you rest in Christ. Paul’s challenge to Peter shows that both Jew and Gentile are justified the same way: through Christ alone. Freedom in Christ is not permission to sin. It ends self-justification. United to Jesus, we have died to the law as a way of earning favor, and now live by faith in the Son of God who loved us and gave himself for us. The law cannot give life, but Jesus can. To seek righteousness by works would empty the cross of its purpose. Grace, not effort, gives real rest to a weary soul.---Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.
