All Or Everything

• Galatians 5:3 (NASB)

---

Paul makes a very strong point to draw the line between faith and religious works. If you want to live by faith, but still hold on to one small idea or tradition you think you need to keep, then you might as well require yourself to keep allthe Old Testament law, because its all or nothing. On the other hand, grace and faith allows you to connect with God directly. No hoops to jump through, no merit badges to earn His ear. The simple reality is that faith in what Jesus did in your place takes care of everything.

So, I suppose you could say the choice is, all or everything!
