Galatians 2 & 3

Hallelujah!  I am justified by faith in Jesus Christ. I have believed Jesus and his word. I believe that he is the Messiah and therefore, I am justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law.  For by works of the law shall no flesh be justified. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.

I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness came by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. I am not so foolish as to believe that having begun in the Spirit, I am now made perfect by the flesh.  Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law, being made a curse for me.
