Meditate
On
I
do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then
Christ is dead in vain.
Galatians
2:21, KJV
Are You Frustrating God’s Grace?
Consider
carefully what the apostle Paul is saying in today’s verse. He is effectively
saying that if you are depending on your good works, your doing and your
ability to keep perfectly the Ten Commandments to become righteous, then Jesus
died for nothing! That’s what “in vain” means—for nothing!
So
don’t frustrate the grace of God by depending on your good works to make
yourself righteous and put God on your side. Jesus’ sacrifice is more than
enough to make you righteous.
And when you know that you are made righteous by
Jesus’ work alone, regardless of your performance, you can be confident that
God’s unmerited favor is on your side. You can expect good to happen to you
today and every day!
