Galatians Study

This summer I am studying Galatians and I am really enjoying it. There are some many foundational truths; I wish I would have study this before Romans back in the fall!

Here are some things the Lord is putting on my heart:

• Without Grace (unmerited favor) there is no way to have freedom from sin.


• My spirit and flesh are in opposition


• We are justified by faith alone - not by what we do, or don't do.


• There is nobody outside the reach of God's amazing grace. There is not a single person, no matter how bad or how stubborn, who Jesus does not love (look at Paul's life!!).


• Salvation is by God's grace, through faith alone, in Christ alone. There's nothing we can do to establish a right relationship with God except to believe in His Son and receive Him as our Savior and Lord.


• The Christian life is about acceptance, it is not performance-based.


• The only way to discern a lie is to know the truth...the truth is found in Christ.

Paul makes it clear to the Galatian's that he spent three years alone with the Lord to prepare himself for his ministry. Through prayer and study he knew God so intimately. This makes me ask myself, how much time do I spend before the Lord before I go out to bible studies or other various Christian events?

Chapter 2 is really good too...more on that later!

I pray each reader is spending time in the word and valuing your time with the Lord! He loves you and desires these things more than we could want them for ourselves!

Love2all!
