(Galatians 3:15-22) The Law does not replace God's promise of salvation through Christ. The Law instead exposes our sin and self-righteousness, showing us our need for a Savior. Christ has fulfilled the Law, borne our sins, and gives us eternal life as a free gift. There are no hidden conditions—we are beneficiaries of God's promise in Christ.

Like the deaf and mute man whom Jesus healed, sinners cannot open their own ears or tongues to God’s grace. But Christ still says, “Ephphatha—be opened,” opening our ears through His Word, Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord’s Supper. In Christ, we no longer stand before God on the strength of our own righteousness, but as living letters of Christ, bearing the righteousness He has given us.

Pride led to jealousy, anger, murder, lies, and despair because Cain refused to repent and trust in God’s mercy. Sin can work the same way in our lives, leading one sin into another when we justify ourselves rather than confessing our need for forgiveness. The answer is not found in our own efforts, but in faith. We are justified not by our works, but by trusting in God’s mercy through Christ, the true Lamb of God, whose perfect sacrifice covers our sin. Rather than doubling down on sin, we are called to “double up” on God’s mercy, trusting Christ, receiving His forgiveness, and living in joyful gratitude.
