Faith, complete faith in god, is something all Christians strive for. But it is not something we get after so many stars on the board or pay raises. We can't work for it, we just must do it. To follow Christ is to follow the law. These guidelines are what bring us closer to God. Now here's the part I liked: the more we follow the law, the closer to His character we will come.
verses 23-28:
"But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise."
