Galatians 2:15-3:6 // The doctrine of justification is crucial to the understanding of our Christian faith. A correct understanding of how we are justified by faith in Christ allows us to live with humility and immense confidence in Jesus. It is when we live in Christ that we can ever hope to grow in our faithfulness and holiness. We must remember that our salvation is founded on God's grace and His work in Christ. From justification to sanctification, it's all done in relationship with God. We can never put him to the side and roll up our sleeves to go to work on becoming righteous on our own. It's only going to be in Christ and by the power of His Spirit that we will be able to be right with our God.
