Sonship and Access
Paul draws a clear line between law and life from the Spirit.
Scripture: Galatians 2:21
I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Thought: Paul says it with absolute clarity: grace and law are irreconcilable opposites. Whoever tries to become righteous through their own effort rejects God's precious gift. Original: צְדָקָה
