Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. — Galatians 3:13

 She loves Jesus, prays frequently, reads the Bible every day, and confesses her sins every evening, an elderly woman once informed me. But she worries about passing away. She is unsure of God's acceptance of her. She added that she paid a sizable sum of money to her church without her husband's knowledge because she was so desperate to win God's favour.  

Paul said, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (Eph. 2:8–9). This woman clearly does not grasp what Paul is saying. She still holds on to the notion that she must win God's favour by her good deeds. 

Christian apologists frequently make this error. Some Galatian Christians who had the same opinion needed to be corrected by the apostle Paul. They discussed the necessity of upholding many of the rules outlined in the Old Testament legal code. Paul proclaimed in Galatians 3:13 that by dying on the cross, Jesus Christ freed us from the penalty of the law. 

Do you agree with this? Do you consider Christ to be your Saviour? If so, be glad and give thanks as you rest in the finished work He did for you on the cross. Avoid the frequent error of believing that you can win God's favour.

 Salvation is an unmerited favour extended to an undeserving sinner. God is now demonstrating His grace; Jesus died to reconcile us to God. It is not deeds, prayer, or tears that rescue the soul.
