From Religious Life to Faith Life (Galatians 2:16-21)
In the census, in the Religion column, the
Wouldn't Christianity be just one of many religions? Have you ever thought of that?
If religion seeks to solve fundamental human problems by relying on the Absolute,
The Christian faith can be said to be the solution of the ultimate problem of salvation through God's grace.
The Apostle Paul said that it is not the works of the law that a person is justified and saved.
It is said that it is through faith in Jesus Christ.
It assumes that human beings are not righteous.
It means that human beings are sinners.
And the result of sin is death.
The limit of the sinner is that he cannot be saved through the works of the law.
Although God made the law in the Old Testament times, no one could completely keep it.
But if you break the law and sin,
He gave the sacrifice to be forgiven by slaughtering animals and offering their blood as a sin offering.
But even animal blood cannot completely atone for human sins.
God can only use the blood that Jesus Christ sacrificed on the cross.
He made perfect atonement.
Therefore, anyone who believes in Jesus Christ can become righteous and be saved.
The cross of Jesus Christ is the only way for sinners to come to God.
Because human beings have a fallen body that cannot keep the law completely
God opened the way to salvation through the cross of Jesus.
Paul said he was dead to the law.
Because I realized that this is the way to live toward God.
If you try to be righteous by the works of the law, you will eventually perish.
Giving up all your efforts to keep the law
You can be saved only by believing in the righteousness that Jesus accomplished through the cross.
Paul thoroughly crucified himself with Christ.
He had to die as the punishment for sin, but Jesus died in his place.
Soon he realized that his sinful self had died together.
And because he died, he is no longer alive
I also realized that Jesus lives in me.
And living in the flesh in this world
He loved Him and died on the cross for Himself.
He said that he lives by faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Only the Bible, only grace, only faith.
It can be said that it was a reform that turned Christianity into a religion in the Middle Ages and turned it into a religion.
We are saved only through faith in the grace of Jesus.
The saved saints must live only by the word of God,
The church is built on the name of Jesus Christ
It was to preach Jesus Christ.
The right life of faith is only through faith in Jesus Christ and
Saved by God's free grace
It is a life of obedience and obedience to God's Word by faith.
The saints who realized the grace of God who were saved
Even if the life of faith is difficult and difficult, you can make it enjoyable and happy.
Even if there is persecution in the world, we can be faithful to the mission of the gospel entrusted to us.
