2014-06-08 Our justification is by the faith OF Jesus Christ (2:16). It is His faith that gives us eternal life. We are under the curse of the law, having sinned. Because Christ lived a sinless life, He became a curse for us when He hung on Calvary's tree. Thus, through the law, we are made dead to the law, so that we might live in Christ, by having our lives hid in Christ. If we do not allow the faith of Christ to cause us to live the sanctified life, then we frustrate the grace of God, and Christ is dead to us.
