Christ Alone

so my school is going through a galatians study, so i've been reading galatians for devotions.

the other day i was just browsing on my computer, and i realized i haven't been to shereadstruth.com lately.

so i decided to see what devotion plan they are doing... 

and it just so happens they are doing a galatians study right now too! 

so i'm pretty sure God wants me to be all up in galatians right now.

and let me just tell you-- it's been so encouraging and convicting!

today i read in galatians 3:1-14.

verse 11 says,

now it is evident that no one is justified by the law, for "The righteous shall live by faith"

ohhhh mann.. how many times do i feel like i need to be justified by works? 

i think to myself, "you know, i'm doing good right? i've not done anything too terrible."

uhmmmmm... WHAT? 

i am not justified by anything that i have done. i am not justified by my good out weighing my bad. 

i am justified by Christ's blood, ALONE.

as she reads truth puts it... the game of works is over. we are just called to believe and have faith in Christ's work on the cross.

faith in Jesus>works.
