Galatians 3:7,12
Galatians 3:7-8 The Message (MSG)
Is it not obvious to you that persons who put their trust in Christ (not persons who put their trust in the law!) are like Abraham: children of faith? It was all laid out beforehand in Scripture that God would set things right with non-Jews by faith. Scripture anticipated this in the promise to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed in you.”
Galatians 3:11-12 The Message (MSG)
The obvious impossibility of carrying out such a moral program should make it plain that no one can sustain a relationship with God that way. The person who lives in right relationship with God does it by embracing what God arranges for him. Doing things for God is the opposite of entering into what God does for you. Habakkuk had it right: “The person who believes God, is set right by God—and that’s the real life.” Rule-keeping does not naturally evolve into living by faith, but only perpetuates itself in more and more rule-keeping, a fact observed in Scripture: “The one who does these things [rule-keeping] continues to live by them.”
Galatians 3:7 King James Version (KJV)
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Galatians 3:12 King James Version (KJV)
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.

However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, “HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM.”

and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them.

Galatians 3:12 Amplified Bible (AMP)
But the Law does not rest on or require faith [it has nothing to do with faith], but [instead, the Law] says, “HE WHO PRACTICES THEM [the things prescribed by the Law] SHALL LIVE BY THEM [instead of faith].”

The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God.

This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”

So the true children of Abraham have the same faith as their father!
Galatians 3:12 The Passion Translation (TPT)
But keeping the law does not require faith, but self-effort. For the law teaches, “If you practice the principles of law, you must follow all of them.”
