Galatians 2:21Radiate New TestamentI don’t regard the grace of God as worthless. If a person could become right with God by obeying the law, then Christ died for nothing!” See the chapter |
If the priests who came from Levi’s family could have made the people perfect by what they did at the temple, then why would another priest have to come who wasn’t in the order of Aaron, but in the order of Melchizedek? The law that was given to the people said that priests had to come from Levi’s family line.
But even though we’re used to following the law, we still know that no one can be made right with God that way. Instead, a person needs to believe in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus to be made right with God. We’re not trying to do that by obeying the law, because no one can be made right with God by obeying the law.
