GRACE Galatians 2:19-21 Part 2 of 2

"For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"

The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God 
Matthew 4:3-4  The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' " (Deuteronomy 8:3)

who loved me 
Romans 8:37  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

and gave himself for me 
Galatians 1:3-5  Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for all our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing! 
Galatians 3:21  So is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
