“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.”
Galatians 3:11-12 KJV
Paul is explaining this vital point about living by faith. It is obvious that no one achieves the righteousness of God by attempting to keep the law, for it is written: “The one who is in a right relationship with God will live by faith!” But keeping the law does not require faith, but self-effort. For the law teaches, “If you practice the principles of law, you must follow all of them.” We live in a culture where pleasing God by performance of works is the way to approach God. The law of karma teaches that good deeds leads to good rebirths and bad deed leads to bad rebirths. Jesus says that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Keeping the law leads to curse, whereas belief in the Lord Jesus Christ leads to the joy of eternal life. The Blood sacrifice of Jesus cleanses us from all sin, and, has made peace through the Blood of His Cross, by Him to reconcile all things to Himself; things in earth and things in heaven. Thank You for releasing us from karma simply by faith in You, Lord Jesus!
