17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!
18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.
19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.
20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Eleven years after Trevor Oliver’s father – Staff Sgt. Travis Atkins -- died protecting his unit in Iraq, Oliver accepted the Medal of Honor. “It’s the most incredible honor I can think of getting, especially with my dad being military – it’s the highest honor,” Oliver said prior to the ceremony.
Finding himself face-to-face with a suicide bomber in June 2007, Atkins bear-hugged their attacker and drove him to the ground, using his own body to shield those under his command.

21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
HEBREWS
11 Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?
23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
