Ridgeline Study Prompts

Galatians 2:15-21

Prayer and Preparation
The spiritual discipline of scripture reading and study isn’t a task on a checklist to mark off. It’s an opportunity to submit our lives and minds to the will of the Father. As we study, our whole being (spirit, mind and body) is being transformed into Christlikeness. Spend a few minutes asking God to do a work in you as you place yourself under the authority of His Word.

Study

The word “justified” is used multiple times throughout this passage. In theological terms, what does that word actually mean?

 
 
What does the word “law” actually mean in this text?

What did Paul mean when he wrote, “for through the law I died to the law that I might live to God”?

Application
If we have been “justified” through Christ, our natural response would be to live out our freedom for him. What does “no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” look like, in practical terms for you?
