with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by
obeying the law” Galatians 2:16 NLT.
Here is an analogy to help simplify it:
The postman comes to your door
with a package. He has brought a gift
from a friend. You didn't order it or ask for
it. You didn't work for it, so you didn't earn
it. It is a gift because it is being given to
you. Someone cares a great deal about
you. It is out of their love that you are
being given this gift.
But it was sent by certified mail,
which means you need to sign for it
before you can receive it. The postman
can't sign your name for you. You need
to show your signature in order to receive
this gift from the postman. In the same
way, your faith – your belief in Jesus is
your signature to receive God’s gift of
salvation.
