Galatians 6:6-10 6 Those who are taught the word should share all good things with their teacher. 7 Make no mistake, God is not mocked. A person will harvest what they plant. 8 Those who plant only for their own benefit will harvest devastation from their selfishness, but those who plant for the benefit of the Spirit will harvestContinue reading “Live for the Harvest”

Life With Others
Today, we receive this word from Paul which reminds us how we can be in relationship with those around us. Galatians 5:13-15 13 You were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only don’t let this freedom be an opportunity to indulge your selfish impulses, but serve each other through love. 14 All the Law has been fulfilled inContinue reading “Life With Others”
Faith vs Works
One of the things I appreciate about Galatians is that Paul seems to repeat himself in a few places. It is almost as if he knew his readers would need to hear the content more than once. I believe the same is true for us today. We go along and think we have everything figuredContinue reading “Faith vs Works”
I Am Free
Galatians 5:1 Christ has set us free for freedom. Therefore, stand firm and don’t submit to the bondage of slavery again. This is, I believe, the letter to the Galatians summed up in one sentence. Every time I have read this verse this month, it has been an incredible reminder that Christ has set me andContinue reading “I Am Free”
Influence
Galatians 4:12-20 12 I beg you to be like me, brothers and sisters, because I have become like you! You haven’t wronged me. 13 You know that I first preached the gospel to you because of an illness. 14 Though my poor health burdened you, you didn’t look down on me or reject me, but you welcomed me asContinue reading “Influence”
Family
Galatians 3:25-29 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian.26 You are all God’s children through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free; nor is there male and female, forContinue reading “Family”
Released by Faith
Galatians 3:19-24 19 So why was the Law given? It was added because of offenses, until the descendant would come to whom the promise had been made. It was put in place through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now the mediator does not take one side; but God is one. 21 So, is the Law againstContinue reading “Released by Faith”
Promise of Inheritance
Galatians 3:15-18 15 Brothers and sisters, I’ll use an example from human experience. No one ignores or makes additions to a validated will. 16 The promises were made to Abraham and to his descendant. It doesn’t say, “and to the descendants,” as if referring to many rather than just one. It says, “and to your descendant,” who isContinue reading “Promise of Inheritance”
Live Different
Galatians 3:10-14 10 All those who rely on the works of the Law are under a curse, because it is written, Everyone is cursed who does not keep on doing all the things that have been written in the Law scroll. 11 But since no one is made righteous by the Law as far as God is concerned,Continue reading “Live Different”
Joined Together
Galatians 3:6-9 6 Understand that in the same way that Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness, 7 those who believe are the children of Abraham. 8 But when it saw ahead of time that God would make the Gentiles righteous on the basis of faith, scripture preached the gospel in advance to Abraham: All theContinue reading “Joined Together”
