Externals – Galatians 6:15
For both circumcision and uncircumcision mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation. What one sees on the outside is not always the true picture of the person on the inside. How one appears externally doesn’t accurately describe who they are or what drives them. Our focus is almost always on how people appear … Continue reading Externals – Galatians 6:15
True Freedom – Galatians 5:1
Christ has liberated us to be free. Stand firm then and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery. Legalism must be firmly resisted. We have been created for and redeemed for the freedom that comes through grace and the salvation found only in Christ Jesus. To fall back into a mindset of earning salvation … Continue reading True Freedom – Galatians 5:1
Evil Isolation – Galatians 4:17
They are enthusiastic about you, but not for any good. Instead, they want to isolate you so you will be enthusiastic about them. An enemy (and THE enemy) always seeks to isolate an individual for their own selfish purposes. Isolation very obviously separates and an enemy seeks to separate his prey from those who speak … Continue reading Evil Isolation – Galatians 4:17
Friends? – Galatians 4:16
Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? It is a painful reality that some so-called friends want nothing to do with the truth. They want a fantasy relationship that accepts any and everything without judgement. This is not friendship. It is a deception. True brotherhood and friendship involves truth. If we … Continue reading Friends? – Galatians 4:16
No Longer Slaves – Galatians 4:31
Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman. Fundamentally it seems to me that Paul is saying that we are no longer slaves of the flesh but instead sons of the Spirit of Christ. Galatians 4:6-7 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son … Continue reading No Longer Slaves – Galatians 4:31
Irreconcilable Differences – Galatians 4:30
But what does the Scripture say? Drive out the slave and her son, for the son of the slave will never be a co-heir with the son of the free woman. There are irreconcilable differences between the nature of the flesh and the indwelling Spirit. A set of rules will never permanently evict the spirit … Continue reading Irreconcilable Differences – Galatians 4:30
Faith of Christ – Galatians 5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love. Within Christ there is truly no religious human accomplishment that has any value. Ritualistic performance is worthless. Faith in and of Christ is of ultimate worth. He is our Faith and as we assent to His "realness" and … Continue reading Faith of Christ – Galatians 5:6
Fallen From Grace – Galatians 5:4
You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. To fall from grace is not to sin so much that God refuses to forgive us. To fall from grace is to move back to a place where somehow we believe we can justify our own … Continue reading Fallen From Grace – Galatians 5:4
Fellowship Through Grace – Galatians 2:9
...and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. It was the grace of God applied and visible in Paul's life … Continue reading Fellowship Through Grace – Galatians 2:9
