Galatians 2 Verse 21” I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing”.

Galatians starts with an admonishment by the Apostle Paul. ‘I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from Him Who called you by the Grace of Christ—and are turning to a different gospel”.

We can nullify, set aside, in frustrate the grace of God when we reply on our own abilities instead of trusting in Our Lord and Our Friend.

This happened to the Galatians, they heard another message. One which led them to rely on self-effort.

They did not lose their salvation, but they set aside the Grace of God. Instead of allowing Christ to live His life through them, they went and tried it their own way.

The Grace of God is revealed in the sacrificial love of Gods’ Son.

Our righteousness is not the result of passing some test or meeting some standard. True righteousness comes from trusting in the righteous sacrifice of the Righteous One.

We can do all things through Christ because He has made a way for us. Everything we do in self-effort, leads to self-righteousness and away from the wonderful Gift of Grace, Our Lord and Our Friend has imparted to us.  

God Bless.
