Faith vs. Works of the Law

Faith vs. Works of the Law

Scripture Reading: Galatians 2:15-21

Devotional:
Paul explains justification by faith, not by the works of the law. This pivotal passage challenges us to rely on Christ's work rather than our own efforts for salvation. The life we now live is by faith in Christ who loved us and gave Himself for us.

Study Points:
  • Define justification and its role in salvation.
  • Explore the contrast Paul makes between faith and the law.
  • Discuss the implications of verse 20 for a believer's identity and purpose.

Application: Consider how you might still rely on personal efforts for justification. Daily surrender these to Christ, living empowered by His love.

Reflection Questions:
  1. What does living by faith rather than the law look like in practical terms?
  2. How does knowing you are justified by faith impact your daily walk with God?
  3. In what ways can I more fully embrace my identity in Christ as described in Galatians 2:20?
