Part XLIV on Galatians Study

Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  Not just Gentiles like the Hebrews perhaps thought, but everybody, Hebrews and Gentiles all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. And its not anything we have done, that's not what makes us sinners but rather we're sinners because of who we are. We're sons of Adam. Now verse 24 has the remedy. Remember God is no respecter of persons as all are in the same boat all are guilty as all have the nature of Satan in the flesh of man or S.E.L.F (Satan Elevating Life Falsely).


Romans 3:24-26
"Being justified freely (to render righteous, without a cause) by his grace (His, is the benefit as our benefactor, Love given out on us) through the redemption (or the buying back process) that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom God (this same Christ Jesus) hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, (remember we looked at the ramifications of the blood. Going all the way back to Genesis 9, Leviticus 17, this blood is something very special it has great intrinsic value in God's sight because in this blood is the power of the first Light, an Endless Life, Light and Eternal Love of all men) to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins (Satan's In Nature) that are past (destroyed in death that which caused death's first entering) , through the forbearance of God; 26. To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness (the righteousness of Christ); that he (Christ) might be just, and the justifier of him which (repents and is baptized? No way, but) believeth in Jesus (puts his hope and whole-hearted trust in Him)."   We can put anything in there that we want to including keeping the Ten Commandments but it just doesn't say that, but only He will be the Justifier to him who believe by way of receptivity. We have to be willing to receive the benefit of His action, in likeness of manor, the completion of the finished work of the cross. Now verse 27.


Romans 3:27
"Where is boasting then? (who can brag?) It is excluded. (Why? Because the law of faith excludes it as we see in the remains of the verse.) By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith."   And the law of faith is? Trust, Believe, and Receive into yourself the Love of Christ, the Grace of God as revealed in the Gospel for our salvation (the eating of His flesh (the meat on our alter) and the drinking in of His blood poured out on our alter). All we want people to realize is that not one of the salvation scriptures say anything about what we can do except "BELIEVE." All of these verses say basically the same thing, and that is "When we believe that Christ died and rose from the dead thou shall be saved." Now it says it in various and different ways, and they have all came from Paul's various epistles and they all make no mention of repentance and baptism. Or even doing the required works of the Levitical Law as the means of receiving salvation's benefit. Every one of them makes no mention of any kind of works or doings or keeping, but rather they all say basically the same thing – Receive and Believe!


Ephesians 2:8
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:"  All we want people to see is that all of the basic salvation verses are just like the one in Romans 3, that it's through faith in His Blood, through His death, burial, and resurrection, and that if we believe it within our heart then God does all the rest. We don't have to do anything because He does it and has already done it all first in Christ, as are second Adam, the all in all. The Lord is opening peoples heart eyes and ears that it isn't what we do, but that we believe by His faith. Now turn to Romans chapter 5 and verse 10.


Romans 5:10
“For if while, we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by (through) the death of His Son, it is much more (certain), now that we are reconciled, that we shall be saved (daily delivered from sins dominion) by (through) His (resurrection, power of an Endless Life and Love) Life.” (Amp) Now we'll look at verse 13 before we return to Galatians 2, oops we'll continue here in Romans 5 with verses 12 through 15.
