How can you know whether or not you are right with God? Does God approve of you based on how well you adhere to a certain list of rules? What if your list is different from somebody else’s list, though? And what happens if you fail to obey the rules? Galatians tells us that God declares us righteous on the basis of what Jesus has done rather than on the basis of what we do. Only Jesus can make us right with God, now and forever.
