Great article, it’s really all about “works (a false ‘ gospel’)” vs. Grace (it’s ALL on Jesus justifying the sinner-which He gives to us, who were His enemies).

Jesus saves then He changes peoples lives through the Holy Spirit’s influence in them. The “change” is not something we can work or progress toward, even many saved, born again Christians sometimes become trapped in this diversion because of the state of modern Western churches.

In Christ Alone. Not all the evangelicals miss it.

Really great - thanks! Jesus came to “fulfill the law” because we could not. In doing so, he saved us from the consequences of the law - death. Thus, Jesus really saved us from the law - and it was the law that condemned us.

Great post SoFloFreeper!

About an hour ago, I was sharing Oswald Chambers' daily devotional, My Utmost for His Highest with my wife.

Today's reading begins with this: "Our calling is not primarily to be holy men and women, but to be proclaimers of the gospel of God. The one all-important thing is that the gospel of God should be recognized as the abiding reality. Reality is not human goodness, or holiness, or heaven, or hell— it is redemption."

The entire devotional is at http://utmost.org/do-you-see-your-calling/

The subjective question, “How am I doing?” became a more dominant feature than the objective question, “What did Jesus do?”

A problem the Galatians experienced.
