Galatians 1:1-5 Paul, the former Pharisee, understands that by God’s grace, the Law has been fulfilled in the Person and word of Jesus. The Law can never make a person right before God, but rather shows us our guilt before Him. Righteousness and life and freedom are found not in our good works, but in trusting in Christ alone who died and rose again for our justification. When you accept Jesus’ death was for you, you will have peace with God.
