Daily Sacrifice, September 12 (3:23)
“Before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterward be revealed” — Galatians 3:23.
THE law was designed to convict men of their sinfulness and inability to save themselves. The more honest a man is and the more tender his conscience, the more readily will he acknowledge that he has broken that law times without number and is helpless to keep it, apart from divine aid. To those so convicted God presents Christ as the Holy One who met every claim of the law perfectly, and then went to the cross and suffered, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. All who believe in Him have eternal life here and now and are forever delivered from condemnation.
