Tuesday the 17th

Happy St. Patrick’s day!

 

Galatians 3: 24-25

 

24So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. 25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.

 

Faith is what will lead us home. Like the Galatians many people today have become weighted down with the law. They spend their day trying to be the “good Christian” As if their works, and their money will leverage them a spot in heaven! The cornerstone to our faith is Jesus Christ. It is faith in Him….in his life, death, and resurrection, that justifies us. Our actions must be founded in faith, all of your time, money, effort, and struggle will be fruitless if it is not carried out in faith, Faith in Christ, and faith in the promise of everlasting life that we received from Christ through His defeat of death. The law binds us to sin, Christ frees us for eternity. The law has not been abolished, but it has been fulfilled. Give thanks and praise to the Lord for the gift that has been given freely to each of us, and live a life of faith. Faith will fill the hollowness, it will light the dark path, Faith will guide you like a column of smoke in the day, and a pillar of fire at night. Start your life with a faith in Christ, and then move forward from there. Make your works, works of faith; make your life an expression of that faith.

 

Peace,

Brian
