Fallen from Grace

For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come (Heb 10:1) the reality is in Christ. (Col 2:17) It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Gal 5:1) You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. (Gal 5:4)

Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses." (Act 13:38-39) My brothers, you were chosen to be free. But don't use your freedom as an excuse to live in sin. Instead, serve one another in love. The whole law can be found in a single command. "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." (Gal 5:13-14) Love is the fulfillment of the law (Rom 13:10) and Christ has proved it by the cross. Hear Him!
