Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”
Galatians 2:16 NLT
It all boils down to Faith. Our willingness to pledge allegiance to Creator God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit, to claim the Godhead as the Ultimate authority of our lives.
Of course, this is way easier said than done. That is, after proclaiming Faith in God, it isn’t usually all sweetness and perfect ever after.
Our Faith in God often gets tested in the crucible of life. In those instances, our knowledge of God’s Word will prove our Faith. But head knowledge of God and application of the Word will only take us a little piece of the way, it truly is about relationship. Our relationship with God, which subsequently impacts everything. A relationship grounded in mere Faith, watered by real time talks with God (prayer and reflection about what God is saying through God’s Word). It’s a willingness to engage God and be engaged by God.
Righteousness by Faith is therefore a journey, not the destination. Lets resolve to enjoy every moment with God.
Blessings
In Christ
