Monday
Galatians 3:21
Well, then, is there a conflict between Your law and Your promises? Absolutely not! If the law could have given us new life, we could have been made right with God by obeying it.
Tuesday
Galatians 3:22
But the Scriptures have declared that I am a prisoner to sin, so the only way to receive Your promises, God, is to believe in You, Jesus Christ.
Wednesday
Galatians 3:23
Until faith in You, Christ, was shown to me as the way of becoming right with You, God, I was guarded by the law. I was kept in protective custody, so to speak, until I could put my faith in the coming Savior.
Thursday
Galatians 3:24
Let me put it another way. The law was my guardian and teacher to lead me until You, Christ, came. So now, through faith in You, Christ, I am made right with You, God.
Friday
Galatians 3:25
But now that faith in You, Christ, has come, I no longer need the law as my guardian.
