Justified in Christ
July 14, 2024 • Stephen Yuille • Galatians 2:15–21
We must obey God’s law to be right with Him. We can’t obey God’s law. We must obey God’s law in the person of a mediator. We become one with the mediator through faith. God accepts the mediator’s death as if it were ours. God accepts the mediator’s obedience as if it were ours. God justifies us.
