WILL I MAKE THE TRADE?
The law of the tradeoff says we must learn to say no now so we can experience a better yes tomorrow. That's the law of the tradeoff.
Yes, we too benefit from the law of the trade off when it involves religion.
*** Paul said, "For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God." That is right. There is the law of the tradeoff. ***
Yes, we can no longer try to earn our salvation by trying to fulfill the law because it is useless.
Yes, no matter how many rituals or ceremonies, no amount of religious activity that we do, nothing could ever make up for our sin. Religion is an endless trap of eternal uncertainty.
Yes, that's why JESUS CAME to earth. It was in order to Experience the Assurance of SALVATION and ETERNITY. We must give up that spiritual death prison.
*** Paul said. "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live. But Christ who lives in me, and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." ***
Yes, Paul was willing to give up the law, which only condemned because no one could keep it perfectly instead, he died to the law so that he might live through Christ.
Yes, is he once Christ died, we too DIED to the Law, we DIE to Ourselves, and we DIE to our Sin. We said NO to Religion, NO to Legalism, we said NO to Ourselves, and we said YES to JESUS.
*************** WE MADE THE TRADE ************
**** Wasn't there a better way other than having Christ died for our sins? ****
Galatians 2:21 Scream no, there was NO other option. Read, " I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”
Yes, if there was another way to earn salvation, Jesus's death would be meaningless.
Yes, if we play religion, we turn to legalism. It's like saying that Christ's death is meaningless and attempting to nullify the grace of God.
Yes, if we do this it will hurt us, and others too, because the sin of legalism it pulls people away from God with us.
Yes, I will focus on the Gospel of Jesus Christ that is by grace. A gift, that I am saved.
Yes, I believe this, I will live like it.
Yes, I am free, so I will live freely.
Yes, I MADE THE TRADE! Hallelujah!

When I think about your plan, before creation, I believe in my heart that you knew us. I believe that you sent Jesus to bridge the gap , so that I may call upon his name. Nothing - equals that. Lord please help me , when I become selfish, and self seeking. The cross was enough, but you also give the fruits of the spirit, mold me more into the child you want me to be
Amen Amen 🙏🙏💕💕
Lord Jesus, I come to You by faith, trusting in Your finished work on the cross of Calvary. Thank You for Your shed blood by which I am cleansed and made acceptable to You. Your grace is sufficient for me. Amen.
