Galatians 2:15-16 NLT

"You and I are Jews by birth, not 'sinners' like the Gentiles.

Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. 

And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. 

For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law."

Galatians 2:15-16 NLT

Paul is telling the readers of his letter who are hearing from false teachers just what he told Peter when he was off track too:

Our religious heritage won't make us right with God.

Obeying all the rules won't make us right with God.

These things are attractive and can seem attainable. 

It's faith in Jesus that makes us right with God.

Not which church we go to, how often we go, how we were baptised, what we give, how we serve, whether we've made good choices or terrible ones, it's faith in Jesus that makes us right with God.

Faith in Jesus.
