FOR GOOD MEASURE?
O foolish Galatians,who hath bewitched you,that you should not obey the truth,before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth,crucified among you?(GALATIANS CHAPTER 3:VERSE 1)
Paul is still trying to explain to these Galatians that law mingled with works saves not one soul.I should say .....sanctifies no one.He went a little farther in the 2nd verse. "This only would i learn of you,Received ye the Spirit by the works of law,or by the hearing of faith?In the 3rd verse he ask them are they foolish? having begun in the Spirit,are you now made perfect by the flesh?
I know from personal experience that by faith in the word of God i heard preached,is when the Holy Spirit entered me.It was not my ability to obey every one of the Ten commandments. oh...i just through that in for good measure.Galatians chapter 3 starting with verse 5. Another question." He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit,and worketh miracles among you,doeth he it by the works of the law,or by the hearing of faith? So now comes the firm explanation from Paul. "Even as Abraham believed God ,and it was accounted to him as righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith,the same are the children of Abraham.And the scripture ,forseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith,preached before the gospel unto Abraham,saying,in thee shall all nations be blessed.So then they which be of faith,are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Oh what a blessed day when Christ washed all this sinners sins away.Nothing i can do to achieve it,nor should i expect that i could sanctify myself.The Holy Spirit has done it already. And this promise was made to all nations. Including the ones who read my blogs.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith;and that not of yourselves :it is the gift of God: Not of works ,lest any man should boast. (EPHESIANS CHAPTER 2:8-9.
