no man is justified before God by the law

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Galatians 3:7-14 Psalm 111:1-6 Luke 11:15-26

Galatians 3:11  Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for "He who through faith is righteous shall live";

It is clear that faith and righteousness is the thing.  Following the law and the arbitrary rules that are created may have value but faith and righteousness are what God want and what He blesses.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to seek the righteousness of the Kingdom of God above all else.  Help me to not get caught up in the legalism but to understand the spirit of the law.

Amen
