The Just And Faith

"But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, the just shall live by faith."  Galatians 3:11.  The law could not justify.  The law had no power of forgiveness.  Only Christ could bring justification.  They who are made just by the blood of Christ are to live by faith.  Faith in Christ makes us just.  We accept Christ as the fulfillment of God's ancient promise to Abraham.  We believe Christ to be the One who was approved of God to redeem the lost.  We know Christ as the Savior.  The blood which was given by Christ on the cross redeems us from the guilt and penalty of sin.  We walk in step with Jesus Christ in our daily life.  We fulfill His will as we follow and obey Him.  We trust Him as our Mediator.  Our faith is the anchor of our soul.  Our faith empowers us to be victorious over temptation and trial.  Our faith comforts us in the darkest of days.  Our faith is our tower of strength.  Our faith is our rock and fortress.  Our faith sees the promised land, and guides us through this foreign land.  The just live not by sight, but by faith.
