By the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Paul repeated the phrase from Galatians 3:2 because he wanted to emphasize there was a choice to be made. Which will it be? Do you believe you will be blessed by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Will you earn and deserve your blessing from God, or will you believe and receive it?

i. This speaks to those who see lack of blessing. Why? Not from a lack of devotion, not because they haven't earned enough; but because they are not putting their faith, their joyful and confident expectation in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. that it he;s not good enough is wjhat their saying , crazy   gpot tpo go baclk add works because no pone  wlse will never be abtto  do so  not in dream or other  wise  good luck !!!

2. (11) The Old Testament tells us that a right standing before God comes by faith, not by the law.

But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for "the just shall live by faith."

a. But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident: Paul had already proven this point in the Scriptures by examining the life of Abraham (Galatians 3:5-9). Now he brought in another passage from the Old Testament, Habakkuk 2:4, which reminds us that the just live by faith and not by law.

i. The Jews themselves sensed that because none could keep the law perfectly, salvation could not come through keeping the law. This is why they placed such emphasis on their descent from Abraham, essentially trusting in Abraham's merits to save them because they sensed that their own merits could not.

b. The just shall live by faith: This brief statement from the prophet Habakkuk is one of the most important and most quoted Old Testament statements in the New Testament. Paul used it here to show that the just live by faith, not by law. Being under the law isn't the way to be found just before God; only living by faith is. easyto do what we can see?? it at all with any real victory  it;s another thing to d o what we can not see ..ony faith can see what eyes can not see >>.
