Galatians

April 7th – Galatians 3:28

Galatians 3:28

When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he declared all men (and women), were created by God equally. And where did he get such a notion? From the Creator of all Himself, God. For it is the Lord who declares that He came not just to save a few, but to save all. And His love isn’t reserved for just His chosen favorites. Instead out of His great love for each and everyone of us, Jesus came and laid down His life so that any and all who believe on Him can have eternal life. And when we receive Him as our Savior, we become equal, adopted heirs into God’s kingdom and members of His one, single church.

Galatians 1:10

The apostle Paul and his teachings were being challenged in Galatia. Yet Paul stood firm, using Christ as his defense. As followers of Jesus, the world will challenge us as well. But we too can stand firm in the truth of the Gospel. For Christians answer not to man, but to God. And the lives we lead and changes we make are for His glory alone. So no matter what people tell us, or how they chastise us, we can find comfort in knowing we aren’t seeking the approval of the world. We are striving to lead lives pleasing to God alone, and trusting Him to handle the naysayers!

Galatians 5:14

In Galatians chapter 5, Paul is talking about the Law of Moses, which was given by God to Israel. A law whose very foundation is love. Because love is the basis for all that God does, and it should be the same for us. For how can we say we love God, and not love those He calls His. If the Holy Spirit truly lives in our hearts, love should flow easily from us towards others. And loving our neighbors as we love ourselves is a natural response when our love for God allows us to see them as He does, our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

Counting Others Blessings Instead Of Your Own – Galatians 5: 13-26

Galatians 5:13-26

In the world we live today, wealth is celebrated above all else. Our televisions, magazines, and internet are all inundated with images and stories of the rich and famous. It’s no wonder that when we see their seemingly perfect lives posted all over social media, we feel the twinge of jealousy, wanting what they have.  …

February 8th – Galatians 5:13

Galatians 5:13

Once we lived under the burden of the Law. But with His death and resurrection, Christ became the perfect fulfillment of that Law. His sacrifice purchased the freedom for us to now live under grace. But make no mistake. That grace is no “license to sin” card. It doesn’t give us liberty to lead lives dedicated to fleshly desires. Instead the grace extended to us through the blood of Jesus, gives us the freedom to serve others in love. To set aside our worldly nature for a Christlike one, which values the needs of others above our own.

Galatians 2:20

The Christian life is all about change. Getting rid of the old and putting on the new. But change doesn’t just happen. It takes commitment and work. Commitment and work to lay down our sinful, fleshly desires of the past and put on the righteousness of Jesus. For once we accept Him as our Savior we no longer live for ourselves, but for the One who died to give us everything. That means becoming His ambassadors to a darkened world. Ambassadors who let Christ work through us to so that others can receive His precious gift of salvation.

Galatians 4:4-5

Throughout its history, what Israel prayed most for was the promised Savior sent by God. And in His perfect timing, God answered that prayer by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus came to give His life in exchange for ours. He became the perfect sacrifice and shed His blood to make us heirs to His kingdom. When we receive Christ as our Savior, we become adopted sons and daughters in His heavenly family. And as such, God promises to bestow upon us, “every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places of Christ.” (Eph. 1:3)

ph. 1:3)
