Galatians 2:21 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Meantime I do not make void — In seeking to be justified by my own works. The grace of God — The free love of God in Christ Jesus. But they do, who seek justification by the law. For if righteousness is by the law — If men might be justified by their obedience to the law, moral or ceremonial. Then Christ died in vain — Without any necessity for it, since men might have been saved without his death; might by their own obedience have been both discharged from condemnation, and entitled to eternal life.

Galatians 2:21

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
