Galatians 2:19

19 For [gar] I [ego] through [dia] the law [nomos] am dead [apothnesko] to the law, [nomos] that [hina] I might live [zao] unto God. [theos] KJV-Interlinear

 

19 "For through the Law I died to the Law, that I might live to God. NASB

 

Paul was raised up in the most traditional Jewish fashion, Phil. 3:4-6. There were strict rules for ones conduct and daily living which were prescribed by the volumes of Levitical regulations that had developed through the centuries after the time of Moses.

But in the strictest sense, the Law, refers to the original writing of Moses, and excludes the many modifications and adjustments and additions that were made long after Moses.

The Law, the Mosaic Law was the original compilation of rituals from the first five books of the Bible. These included not only the ritual feasts and sacrifices and ten commandments, but also the sabbath rules, the sanctuary rules, the dietary rules, hygiene rules, social rules, work rules, marital rules and so forth.

The whole of the content of the Levitical Law in summary, points to the depravity of humanity, his weaknesses, limitations, inability to handle or deal with life and especially death. They point to the need for something or someone higher than man who can intervene in behalf of man, in order to lift man out of the bondage of these limitations, especially death.

So, through the Law, we all have died. Through the Law, we all can see our limitations and inabilities and helplessness.

Therefore, in order to live in a better environment or experience, which we call eternal life, then we must die to, or be separated from the Law. The Law is the total embodiment of the world and its limitations.

This is accomplished through Christ. He lived the Law to perfection and therefore there was no complaint that could be filed against Him. That qualified Him to become our redeemer. A redeemer is one who can purchase a slave, out of slavery in order to set him free.

And Christ did that by means of his work on the Cross.

On the Cross, He was punished for mans sins. Therefore, when you believe in Him, which is to say that you believe in who He is, what he did, and accept His work, then you receive the promise of eternal life by means of your acknowledgement in His work and in effect testify or confess or recognize you own deficiencies in life.

You cannot live by the rules of the world, namely the rituals or traditions or beliefs that originate from the world, and also live by means of Gods work.

The two lifestyles are mutually exclusive. They cannot be mixed, or compromised, or mingled together in any way shape or form.

When you do a wrong thing in the wrong way, it is wrong.
When you do a wrong thing in the right way, it is wrong.
When you do a right thing in the wrong way, it is wrong.
You can only do a right thing in the right way, for it to be right.
