Good news is easily forgotten when bad news is absent. A cure for cancer is a nice idea for the one who is healthy, but for the one dying of cancer with only a few weeks to live, the cure is absolute bliss. How is it that so many can pass by the claims of Christ, smile at a nice man who liked children, but reject His offer of salvation? Theyve missed the bad news. In this section of Galatians, Paul is making crystal clear that justification comes by faith alone, apart from the works of the law. So why the Law? Paul’s simple answer: To make the bad news really bad. Men and women will only run to Jesus for salvation when they feel the weight of the Law revealing sin and offering only condemnation. Is the Gospel good news to you? Maybe you need to hear some bad news.
