NASB | Galatians 5:4 You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 5:4 You have been severed from Christ, if you seek to be justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] through the Law; you have fallen from grace [for you have lost your grasp on God's unmerited favor and blessing]. |
Subject: Justification by works impedes grace |
Bible Note: Rom 4: 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, As if works could put him in RIGHT STANDING with God, they cannot. JUSTIFIED equals RIGHTSTANDING equals RIGHTIOESNESS equals NOT UNDER CONDEMNATION OF THE LAW equals FREE FROM SIN. ROMANS 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness (RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD) without works (Adhering to an outward written code instead of walking by the Spirit in a New and living way, by CHRIST)7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Grace is the unmerited favor of God, not by works but by faith. Eph 2:8 For by grace (un-worked for favor) are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves (Not by works, but by faith): it is the gift (given and kept not by works but faith) of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. I believe many who preach salvation and walking in the Spirit by WORKS believe their WORKS are better than most. IF ANYONE BELIEVES WORKS SAVES HIM OR HER, THEY ARE NOT BORN AGAIN! ONLY BY BELIEVEING IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS PAYING THE PRICE OF OUR SIN ARE WE SAVED! We do works of Righteousness because we are saved by faith, not to be saved. I hope this has clarified the definitions of Justification and Grace. Love, Tim Hines |
