What does Galatians chapter 2 teach about standing blameless before God?
Galatians chapter 2 teaches that believers stand before God blameless because of His grace—unmerited favor—not human deserving. This grace is not license to sin; the believer still walks by the Holy Spirit and Scripture. When they fail, God does not cast them out but restores them, just as a parent lifts a faltering child.
Les explains from Galatians chapter 2 that we stand before Him blameless because of the grace of God, His unmerited favor. He clarifies that grace is not license; it does not tell the believer to go out and do what they please. Instead, when a believer is under the power of the Holy Spirit and trying their best in the light of Scripture to walk pleasing in God's sight, and then fails, God does not kick them out. Les illustrates this with a parent watching a little one take first faltering steps. When the child falls, the parent does not give him a boot; the parent picks him up, gets him on those wobbly feet, and gets him going again. That is what God does.
