The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians by Martin Luther: with you any more, or for that matter you with Him." Can anything worse
be said against the Law? If you think Christ and the Law can dwell together
in your heart, you may be sure that Christ dwells not in your heart. For if
Christ is in your heart He neither condemns you, nor does He ever bid
you to trust in your own good works. If you know Christ at all, you know
that good works do not serve unto righteousness, nor evil works unto
condemnation. I do not want to withhold from good works their due
praise, nor do I wish to encourage evil works. But when it comes to
justification, I say, we must concentrate upon Christ alone, or else we
make Him non-effective .You must choose between Christ and the
righteousness of the Law. If you choose Christ you are righteous before
