Are we justified just by faith (Gal 2:16)
Many false prophets misinterpret the Bible and teach false doctrines such as "you only need to have faith in Christ to be saved" and the quotes certain verses in the bible such aas the following:
Gal 2:16 "know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified."
In the bible are two laws. The Law of Moses (Jn 1:17) and also the law of Christ (1Cor 9:21). Those who follow the Law of Moses are under a cursed because we can't keep it. That's what the Apostle Paul is speaking of here. At the time Peter was not acting in line with the gospel and was trying to teach jewish custom to the gentiles such as circumcision which belongs to the Law of Moses, the law by which if kept we will be cursed by God. However, those who keep the Law of Christ will be blessed in everything tha they do (James 1:25).
In Church of God World Mission Society we keep the Law of Christ, which is the Passover of the New Covenant established by Jesus Christ Himself (Lk 22:13,19, Mt 26:17,26). Through the Law of Christ we are freed from the Law of Moses and receive Eternal Life and freedom from sin and death (Rom 8:1). Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother have brought us the way to receive God's blessing by obeying the Law of Christ. God bless you.
