The law condemns and curses anyone who fails at trying to be justified by it. No one can be justified by the law.

We can go from burdened to blessed, from worry to worship, from restless to rest, from focusing on ourselves and the problem, to focusing on the wonder and the praises of God, if we focus on God. We go from sighing to singing when we spend time with God, worship and His Word, especially when we are troubled.

Only people ignorant of the law's holy demands try to keep it to gain God's approval. The law requires perfection in thought, word, and deed.

The Ten Commandments will not get anyone into heaven, they were not meant for that. They are a mirror that show we need cleansing, forgiving, a savior, a Messiah.

When we truly understand grace (God's undeserved love toward us) it helps us draw closer to God and fellowship more with His people.

You stupid Galatians! Who has put you under a spell? Before your very eyes Yeshua the Messiah was clearly portrayed as having been put to death as a criminal!

1 Then the Lord said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; 3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth.

7 So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth, 9 two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.

I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart."

Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it."'
