So also, when we were children, we were enslaved under the basic principles of the world. But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and...

1What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything. 2He is subject to guardians and trustees until the date set by his father.  3So also, when we were children, we were enslaved under the basic principles of the world. 4But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5to redeem t...

Let's pray against the deception of the church at large. Pray that Jesus would be everything to us and that we would draw near by faith. Pray for a purity of faith for your fellow believer. Pray for your pastors and teachers that they would preach and teach the Word without compromise.......

26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.  -Galatians 3:26-29 BSB Our identity in Christ is one of the...

23Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. 24So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.  -Galatians 3:23-25 BSB The struggle we may face in learning to draw near by faith is a very real struggle. We grew up needing to be told w...

10All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.” 12The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”13Christ redee...

6So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 7Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham. 8The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.-Galatians 3:6-9 BSB Abraham is m...

1O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?  3Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh? 4Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing? 5Doe...

Take some time in a prayer of surrender today. Pray for protection against deception. Pray that the Lord would lead you in humility. Give praise to the Lord for His love that He loved you with that He would call you out of darkness into His marvelous light.......

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.-Galatians 2:20 What an amazing reality to proclaim as a believer! What a deep truth that prevails over the doubts and fears we may have!I have been crucified with Christ. This is one of the single most important st...

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not! If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.-Galatians 2:17-18 BSB What sense does it make for us to claim the name of Christ and walk in opposition to Him? If you are in sincere in your pursuit of Christ, what sense does i...

We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners” know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.-Galatians 2:15-16 BSB One of the greatest deceptions I have run into is what I will call the "G...

But as for the highly esteemed—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism—those leaders added nothing to me.-Galatians 2:6 BSB It was a Sunday morning like many others. I had arrived at the church with my dad. He was setting up to play drums while I was getting my bass ready. Our worship pastor walks in and tells us that there is a lady sat outside our stage entranc...

This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us. We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.-Galatians 2:4-5 BSB Very early in my life I had to learn the valuable lesson that not everyone is who they say they are. It was jarring for me. I grew up believin...
