Some in the church in Galatia were peddling a doctrine of salvation by works. Paul asks and answers three bombshell questions of those Galatians who were trying to peddle this doctrine.
These three questions and their answers stopped their salvation by works message in its tracks.
You remember, of course, that Paul believed that Jesus' blood took care of the sin problem for the human race. I mean for all the human race for free, a price the Bible makes it clear the Jesus Christ the Son of God paid with his life.
Now here are his three dynamite questions and their obvious answers.
Question #1: “Did the Galatians receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith?” to gather more answers and understanding on the above question, is important that you read the book of Galatians 3:2.
In other words, can you work to receive the Spirit, or is that a product of believing in Jesus and receiving Him (by faith) as your savior? Of course, receiving the Spirit comes by faith upon receiving Jesus as savior, in as much as faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word of God
Works Have Nothing To Do With Our Sin
Works have nothing to do with it. Paul's logic, then, forces the conclusion that works of the law have nothing to do with the removal of our guilt and feelings of unworthiness for our sins.
This is solely through Jesus' blood which is God's supreme act of grace. The blood of Jesus is appropriated by faith and not by works at all, it only but the blood of Jesus Christ, accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal savior is the only way for the remission of sin
Question #2: “Since they started by the Spirit, what makes them think they can switch from the Spirit to the flesh to continue their Christian experience? What makes them think they can switch from the Spirit to the fleshly works of the Law to finish out their Christian experience?” to get more understandings on this, also read the book of Galatians 3:3.
Consequently, they will not let these feelings of guilt and unworthiness interfere with God’s blessings of healing, prosperity, family well-being, and salvation contained in the Abrahamic covenant for them.
Question #3: “Did the one who ministers the Spirit to them and works miracles among them do these things by the hearing of faith or by the works of the law?” Read the book of Galatians 3:5. Of course, he did these things by faith and not by the works of the law.
Paul's logic, here, forces the conclusion that
1: Since these Galatians received the Spirit by faith and not by works of the Law
2: Since they cannot switch from the Spirit to works of the Law to maintain their Christian life and
3: Since the ones ministering the Spirit and works miracles among 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 follow any mixture of faith and works.
His blood took care of the guilt and feelings of unworthiness for all our sins. To add one thing to this heavenly formula in the form of any religious work that we must do to get our guilt and unworthiness removed would void God’s grace and render Jesus’ death useless and meaningless, so therefore all humans should turn to Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith
Never let the devil or his gang tell you that you can’t have your Abrahamic blessings of healing, prosperity, family well-being, and salvation because of feelings of guilt and unworthiness, don't let society label you a sinner, bad, and not worthy of the blessings from God, always remember that the ways of God is not the ways of man, and lastly learn to make peace with God.
Should you have not to be born again, please make peace with God and be born again now, being born again, accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savor today, is the greatest achievement you could ever imagine.
In all love yourself, just as Christ commanded us to, that we should love our neighbor just as Christ loves the church, cheer and thanks for readings, World Forum, connecting people to God
