NASB | Galatians 2:16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 2:16 yet we know that a man is not justified [and placed in right standing with God] by works of the Law, but [only] through faith in [God's beloved Son,] Christ Jesus. And even we [as Jews] have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the Law. By observing the Law no one will ever be justified [declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty]. [Ps 143:2] |
Subject: St. Anselem Affirms "By Faith Alone" |
Bible Note: Hi, Emmaus... I don't have any preconceived ideas about Medieval Saints in general, and Saint Anselem in particular. However, as I read that tract, I couldn't help but think of Galatians 2:16. The tract was very short, and the dear abbot did not qualify his statements. Honestly, I do not know this monk's theology except from this tract, nevertheless I found it "quote worthy." I am grateful to our Lord for Saint Anselem's faithfulness to the Apostle Paul's teaching and his great love and compassion. Clearly he was walking in the steps of Christ. May the Lord grant us grace to also follow those steps! |
