Charles Spurgeon Commentary Galatians 2:18-19

"For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor. For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God." — Galatians 2:18-19 (ASV)

For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

Through my understanding of the law, which I have seen to be so stern that all it can do is to condemn me for my shortcomings, I am driven away from it, and led to come and live in Christ Jesus, under the rule of grace, and not under the law of Moses.
