Righteousness as a Gift (Galatians 3:3)

Galatians 3:3

Righteousness as a Gift

Paul draws a clear line between law and life from the Spirit.

Scripture: Galatians 3:3
Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

Thought: Paul writes to people who had the most beautiful start in their life with Christ, born of the Spirit, saved by grace, justified by faith. And then the unthinkable happens: they try to complete through their own effort what God began through... Original: צְדָקָה

Cross-references: 2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 5:1.

Tiny step
