In Galatians 2:16, what does Paul say about seeking justification through the Law?

  1. It is essential for salvation
  2. It is a misunderstanding of the Gospel
  3. It is a temporary measure until faith is fully realized
  4. It is insufficient because justification comes through faith ✓

Explanation

Paul taught that following religious laws cannot make a person right with God. Only trusting in Jesus brings justification, which means being declared righteous by God.

The Law shows us what sin is, but it cannot save us from sin. Trying to earn salvation through good works misses the point of God’s grace.

Faith in Christ, not following rules, is what makes us acceptable to God.
