Galatians 2:22

"I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”"

Key Reflection

Paul affirms his acceptance of divine grace while rejecting legalism, asserting that if salvation were by works of the law, Christ’s sacrifice would have been unnecessary and thus futile. This statement underscores the exclusivity of faith in Christ for righteousness, highlighting the contrast between grace and works-based righteousness.
