Justified in Christ

Pericopy: 2:17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Introduction:

Paul was dealing with the issue of Jewish Christian coming into the proclaiming that they had to be Jewish before becoming a Christian in the Galatian Churches. He had set the record straight that when the members received Jesus Christ, they became a part of the Christian faith. Paul taught them that through their faith they became righteous through their belief in the gospel message. It is through grace that Christ received them.

Problem:

Image we are at home and people come knocking at our door. These people want to inform you about Jehovah. We are curfronted with a delima during our daily moments. What kind of strategy do we use to red us of a pesculent adversaries that are so well intrege to win you over to their way of thinking about God. Many people choose to lie which can destroy your relationship with the Holy because lying is a sin. There is the strategy to cuss the adversary from your front door, but again it is sinful to curse someone from your door. In Numbers 23:8 it states “How can I curse whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?” There is a way to red them without causing us to sin against the Ultimate Power, we must learn how to witness with power before pesculent adversary. We got to win the person over with truth and not by adversary discourse.

I was confronted by an Isrelite who stonckly proclaimed that we get to heaven through the Old Testament by what he said in Leviticus. He forcefully stated that we go to heaven once we believe in the Levitcus. This person will loss people because he is forcing people to view the Eternal Master in his scope. He lost free will. It is his way or the highway. People want to to be free to make their own choices, espescially about God.
