You don't forget, of course, that Paul believed that Jesus' blood took care of the sin difficulty for the human race.
Now right here are his 3 dynamite questions and their apparent answers.
Question ...
Some in the church in Galatia were peddling a doctrine of salvation by works. Paul asks and answers three bombshell queries of those Galatians who were attempting to peddle this doctrine. These three concerns and their answers stopped their salvation by operates message in its tracks.
You keep in mind, of course, that Paul believed that Jesus' blood took care of the sin dilemma for the human race.
Now right here are his three dynamite queries and their clear answers.
Question #1: Did the Galatians acquire the Spirit by the performs of the law or by the hearing of faith? Galatians three:two. In other words, can you perform to obtain the Spirit or is that a product of believing on Jesus and receiving Him (by faith) as your personal savior? Of course, receiving the Spirit comes by faith upon receiving Jesus as savior.
Functions have absolutely nothing to do with it. Paul's logic, then, forces the conclusion that operates of the law have absolutely nothing to do with the removal of our guilt and feelings of unworthiness for our sins. This is solely by means of Jesus' blood which is God's
supreme act of grace. The blood of Jesus is appropriated by faith and not by performs at all
Query #2: Given that they began out by the Spirit, what makes them think they can switch from the Spirit to the flesh to continue their Christian experience? What tends to make them think they can switch from the Spirit to the fleshly performs of the Law to finish out their Christian expertise? Galatians three:three.
They cant. For that reason, Jesus blood, applied to us by the Spirit via faith, will take care of our guilt and
unworthiness dilemma. Consequently, Christians who rest and trust in Jesus' blood refuse to be brought under bondage for unworthiness triggered by the guilt of their sins.
Consequently, they will not let these feelings of guilt and unworthiness interfere with Gods blessings of healing, prosperity, household nicely getting and salvation contained in the Abrahamic covenant for them.
Question #three: Did the 1 who ministers the Spirit to them and functions miracles amongst them do these issues by the hearing of faith or by the functions of the law? Galatians three:5. Of course, he did these things by faith and not by the performs of the law.
Paul's logic, right here, forces the conclusion that (1) given that these Galatians received the Spirit by faith and not by operates of the Law, (2) considering that they cannot switch from the Spirit to functions of the Law to sustain their Christian life and (3) since the ones ministering the Spirit and performs miracles amongst them continue to do them by faith and not by works of the Law, then neither can the Galatians arbitrarily switch from salvation by faith in Jesus to salvation by works of the Law. Neither can they attempt to adhere to any mixture of faith and works.
From the preceding, clearly Paul believed that Jesus blood took care of everything. His blood was the grace of God in action. His blood took care of the guilt and feelings of unworthiness for all our sins. To add 1 factor to this heavenly formula in the form of any religious work that we ought to do to get our guilt and unworthiness removed would void Gods grace and render Jesus death useless and meaningless.
Never ever let the devil or his gang tell you that you cant have your Abrahamic blessings of healing, prosperity, loved ones nicely becoming and salvation due to the fact of feelings of guilt and unworthiness.
