Christ has fulfilled everything the law was meant to do, so now there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
So the law was put in charge of us until Christ came. He came so that we could be shown to be in the right because of faith.
The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
By that one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
Those were only a shadow of the things that were coming; now the reality is found in Christ.
Because you belong to Christ, you have been made complete. He is the ruler over every power and authority.
Because of what God has done, you belong to Christ Jesus. He has become God’s wisdom for us. He makes us right with God, he makes us holy, and he sets us free.
All who believe are made right with God through faith in Jesus Christ. It’s not any different for Jews than for Gentiles.
Jesus answered, “Please agree to this. It’s right for us to do everything that God is asking of people now.” So then John agreed.
He wanted us to be adopted as children, with all the rights that children have.
