Justified by Faith
Galatians 2:16
“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified”.
Religion could be said to mean all human effort to reach God or any practice that someone or some group is seriously devoted to. It’s crucial we know that Christianity is beyond religion, it is God almighty coming down unto men because none of our rituals can make us reach him. Therefore, Christianity is divinity make alive in humanity.
Every man was saved by grave through faith in the gospel of Christ and this isn’t by works lest any man should boast. However, it is observed that after salvation, many have been handed over to another gospel “performance based Christianity”. This has made so many people to live their life trying to please God based on the works they do, forgetting that the just only live by faith.
Whatever we do after salvation is simply dependent on our relationship with God and out of our love for Christ which is rooted in our faith in Him. Remember, we bring displeasure to God by thinking we have to work for something to get it done than believing in the finished work of Christ.
CONFESSION
My faith in Christ already justifies me
I function from a state of rest
I am the righteousness of God
Hallelujah
