2014-07-06 Galatians 3:22-29 Faith kills the law. We are all born with a sin nature (Romans 5:12), and it took God's holy law (Romans 7:12) to show us that we will receive the eternal wrath of God (Romans 1:18; 4:15) if we do not trust in Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection for our sins (I Corinthians 15:3-4). Once we come to faith, the law's purpose is gone (Galatians 3:22-26). God makes us dead to the law (Romans 6:10-11) and marries us to Christ as His body (Romans 7:1-4). We then receive the dry baptism by the Holy Spirit into Christ's death (Romans 6:3-5; Ephesians 4:4-6; I Corinthians 12:13; I Corinthians 1:17) so that we are identified with his death so that we can be identified with His resurrection life. We are given eternal life, and our lives are hid in Christ (Colossians 3:1-3) so that we may then walk in the good works that God had before ordained (Ephesians 2:10).
