Let Your Midnight Frustrations Become The Sunshine Of Grace

Galatians 2:18
"For if I build again the which I destroy,
I make myself a transgressor."

        Paul speaks out of the depths of personal experience. For him to re-erect the whole fabric of the law would have been spiritual suicide. He says that through the law he died, to the law that he might live to God. What he means is this: He had tried the way of law, he had tried with all the terrible intensity of his hot heart to put himself right with God by a life that sought to obey every single item of that law. He had found that such an attempt produced nothing but a deeper and deeper sense that all he could do could never put him right with God. Have you ever felt that way? Do you feel that way now?
        If so; Think as Paul thought! If I can put myself to rights with God by meticulously obeying the law, then what is the need of grace? If I can win my own salvation, then why did Christ need to die? The just shall live by faith. The life at peace with God was not to be attained by this futile, never ending, ever defeated effort; it could be had only by casting himself on the love and mercy of God as Jesus Christ revealed them to men. When Paul took God at his word, the midnight of law's frustration became the sunshine of grace. My Friend, turn your midnight frustrations into the sunshine of grace, by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour Today!
        Amen!
