Christ's All-Sufficiency

Image
Paul challenges the men from Jerusalem who were compelling Gentile Christians to conform to Jewish customs, including circumcision – Galatians 2:15-21. What identifies the people of God and determines membership in His covenant community is Christ, especially the Messiah who has been revealed on the Cross. Jews and Gentiles are justified through Jesus and his death, and nothing else !

The Faithfulness of Jesus

We are acquitted before God through the faith of Jesus Christ, and not from the works of the Law – Romans 3:21-26. Having demonstrated that all men violate God’s revealed will, the Apostle Paul concludes that no man or woman is acquitted from the penalty of sin from the works and rituals required by the Law of Moses. Instead, we are declared innocent through the faith or faithfulness of Jesus Christ.

Apart from the Law

Image
Paul’s references to justification from works have a specific category of works in view, the works required by the Mosaic Law . Sin is the Great Leveler that places everyone in the same predicament: Bondage to sin now, and death and divine wrath later. No one is exempt from the penalty of sin, but God has graciously provided a way to avoid the everlasting effects of our sinful acts.

Aparte de la Ley

Image
Las referencias de Pablo a la justificación a partir de las obras tienen una categoría específica de obras a la vista, las obras requeridas por la Ley Mosaica . El pecado es el Gran Nivelador que coloca a todos en la misma situación: Esclavitud al pecado ahora, y muerte e ira divina después. Nadie está exento de la pena del pecado, pero Dios amablemente ha provisto una manera de evitar los efectos eternos de nuestros actos pecaminosos.

The Exalted King

Image
The reign of Jesus Christ from the Messianic Throne began following his Death, Resurrection, and Exaltation – Psalm 110:1. The New Testament is explicit. God made Jesus of Nazareth Lord and Messiah, and there is no other. His reign began when God exalted Christ following his resurrection. “ God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah! ” – (Acts 2:36).

El Rey Exaltado

Image
El reinado de Jesucristo desde el Trono Mesiánico comenzó después de su Muerte, Resurrección y Exaltación - Salmo 110:1. El Nuevo Testamento es explícito. Dios hizo a Jesús de Nazaret Señor y Mesías, y no hay otro. Su reinado comenzó cuando Dios exaltó a Cristo después de su resurrección. “¡Dios ha hecho Señor y Mesías a este mismo Jesús, a quien vosotros crucificasteis ! ”- (Hechos 2: 36).
