To Wait for the Hope

Here in these verses we find the Apostle telling the people in the Galatian churches that if they are trusting in anything or anyone besides Jesus Christ in order to be saved from their sins, and to be justified in the sight of God, that they are fallen from grace.
In relation to this truth I would like to ask 2 questions which I believe will help you to understand the doctrine of salvation better. When you are learning to wait for the hope of righteousness you will be making progress in holiness. In relating these things to you, I hope that it will help you to see just how much your salvation, and peace of mind in living the Christian life, depends on your trusting in Christ alone for your salvation.
1st of all – What does it mean when Paul says that some of these folks were trying to be justified by law? And 2nd – What does it mean to wait for the hope of righteousness? In explaining these things to you, I hope that this will help you to see just how much your salvation, and peace of mind in living the Christian life, depends on your trusting in Christ alone for your salvation.
