Have you ever been asked a question that changed your whole perspective? That is the type of question that Paul asks the church at Galatia. In his question comes the answer and the encouragement that we should believe and share the Gospel of Jesus with the world.

God is able and capable to work in you and through you to accomplish all that He has put in your heart for 2018 and beyond.

Do not be fooled: Jesus was crucified for you. His sacrifice has made the way for you and I to put our faith in Him and the receive the grace that He offers.

Does sin after salvation mean that God’s grace condones our sins? Or does it mean that we are then subject to the law again? Paul states that violations of the law (sin) shows us again our need for a savior. This is where faith in Jesus alone then justifies us before God. The law points to our need for salvation Jesus provides that salvation through faith in Him and His grace.

I had the privilege of sitting down with 5th Degree Black Belt, Master John Augello. As a father we always look for other men of character to be in our children’s lives. My son has been training under Master John for almost 2 years now. I have so appreciated the character values and confidence that Master John has instilled in Noah’s life.

Have you set aside grace to try to live up to the law? Paul makes it very clear that we are not and can not be made righteous by the law. The value of Jesus sacrifice for us is found in His grace He offers us. Receive grace today.

“Dead Man Walking,” this is what Paul calls himself. He admits his own guilt of violating the law of God. He admits that he is deserving of death. He also admits that Jesus has loved him and given Himself for him so that he might have life. You too can have life in Jesus by putting your faith in Him.

The very idea of justice has been given to us by God. Justice that there must be a payment for violations of the law. Jesus has paid that penalty on our behalf and it is only by faith in Him that we can now be justified.
