—Galatians 2:11-21
by: Trisha Gerstel.
While a heart made new by the Holy Spirit seeks the ways of the Lord, that change and those deeds are the result of salvation, not its cause. This is a truth we need to remember each day as Satan and our flesh tempt us into believing that we are responsible for our own justification. This is a lie that tears at the foundation of our relationship with God and further tempts us to be judgmental toward others. What can you do to remind yourself that “man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus” (v.16)?
