NASB | Galatians 2:21 "I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 2:21 "I do not ignore or nullify the [gracious gift of the] grace of God [His amazing, unmerited favor], for if righteousness comes through [observing] the Law, then Christ died needlessly. [His suffering and death would have had no purpose whatsoever.]" |
Subject: Do we have to earn grace? |
Bible Note: Kalos, I agree there's absolute NO way that any of us can earn salvation. It's a gift. But we do need to take James seriously and do our best to honor that gift by sharing God's light and His good news throughout the world as we're doing on this Forum. I just wanted to emphasize James' words "Faith without works is a dead faith." Thanks for the excellent post. God bless. --Rowdy |
