Life and Peace
Comments on Galatians with an ear to Luther’s commentary
Scripture Text: Galatians 2:19 and Colossians 1:9-14
Series: Comments on Galatians
God has transferred our citizenship from a place of law to the land of life (Colossians 1:13; Philippians 3:20). We are citizens of heaven and are dead to the law if we continue to live by faith instead of by trusting the law for righteousness (Colossians 1:23). To live this earthly life means to be bound by the laws of earth. To live in eternity means being freed from the laws of earthly life. The heavenly life is not one of death and law but of life and peace. We live here on earth but if we are in Christ we are already living in eternal life, at peace because we are bound by the rule of heaven.
