The futility of trying to replace Christ through laws!

You cannot approach Me through laws. The agony I experienced on the Cross was to set you free to live with Me by faith. Your faith in My promises will give you the character of Christ. The Cross was the ultimate and final work of God.

Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.” Galatians 3:11

Today, the narrative deals with Galatians 3:10-14. The admonition from Christ is “Do not substitute your faith in My promises for works in an effort to please Me”.

Come to God by faith. Trying to please God through works will bring a curse upon you.

The Cross abolished all the laws. They died with Jesus on the Cross. The works of God were finished on the Cross. You cannot add anything to this altruistic sacrifice of Christ.

You cannot be justified with God through the laws. This is because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. You are estranged from God and the only way you can be restored to God is through faith in Christ.

The laws were provided by God to demonstrate that no one can keep them. You would have to live in perfect submission under the laws to please God which is impossible.

If you choose to live by the laws you will bring a curse upon yourself. This is because you are making a mockery of the sacrifice of Jesus.

The righteous shall live by faith and are entitled to the blessings of God through the promises made to Abraham.
