Galatians 2:15-21 - Justified By Faith In Christ
16 but since we know a man is justified simply by faith in Jesus Christ and not by doing what the Law commands, we ourselves have believed in Christ Jesus so as to get justified by faith in Christ and not by doing what the Law commands ??for by doing what the Law commands no person shall be justified. 17 If it is discovered that in our quest for justification in Christ we are 'sinners' as well as the Gentiles, does that make Christ an agent of sin? Never! 18 I really convict myself of transgression when I rebuild what I destroyed. 19 For through the Law I died to the Law that I might live for God; 20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, Christ lives in me; the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me. 21 I do not annul God's grace; but if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ's death was useless.
