What does Galatians 3:24 mean? →Passage Context
Devotional Reflection
Galatians tells us over and over that the law, even the Old Testament Law, can't make us good or save us. But the Law does something very important: it brings us to Jesus. The Law tells us what is right and what is wrong. Because of the Law, we see our flaws, mistakes, sins, transgressions, and weaknesses. The Law is the most important reason why we know we need a Savior. God's Law is wonderful. Praise God even more because of Jesus!
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that Your Law was meant to lead me to Jesus. It helps me see how perfect He is. It helps me see how bad I am. Most of all, it helps me see that His sacrifice gives me something the Law can't: Your righteousness. Father, I believe with all my heart that Jesus came to die for me and give me life. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.
