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: VERSE 17. God forbid.
Christ is not the minister of sin, but the Dispenser of righteousness and
the Giver of life. Christ is Lord over law, sin and death. All who believe in
Him are delivered from law, sin and death.
The Law drives us away from God, but Christ reconciles God unto us, for
"He is the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world." Now if
the sin of the world is taken away, it is taken away from me. If sin is taken
away, the wrath of God and His condemnation are also taken away. Let us
practice this blessed conviction.
VERSE 18. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make
myself a transgressor.
