Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. How can a man trust in his own righteousness? It is like seeking shelter under one's own shadow. We may stoop to the very ground; and the lower we bend, we still find that our shadow is beneath us. But if a man flee to the shadow of a great rock, or of a widespreading tree, he will find abundant shelter from the rays of the noonday sun. So human merits are unavailing; and Christ alone can save. (Dr. Medhurst.) Parallel Verses KJV: I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. |
