Galatians 3:14 “He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.” He redeemed us—-3 great words guaranteeing a joyous earthly life and Heavenly wonder for all of us. 3 words which are beyond our comprehension, understanding or realization as to their eternal wonder. Every year we dedicate about a month in celebration of the Christmas message. We buy stuff, we make stuff, we gather, we eat, we drink, we sing, we celebrate in thankfulness to our phenomenal God—He redeemed us!!

Galatians 3:9 “So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” Abraham’s wealth is well known. He was one of, if not, the wealthiest man in the world when he lived. God blessed him, not because he was an exceptional man of earthly knowledge, but rather because he was an exceptional man of faith. Throughout the Bible Abraham is praised because of his solid faith. If you or I are to be praised, would our praise be because of our faith just like Abraham? Are you being blessed? Reread the passage and realize why.

Galatians 2:21 “I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing.” None of us will live eternally in Heaven because we have been good on this earth and deserve the reward. Without our Savior every one of us is lost. There is no such thing as a “good guy/girl” who has the ability to come before God’s throne. Jesus lovingly died for you and me. How could you or I be more blessed!! Teach that truth to your children and grandchildren. Have a great weekend.

Galatians 2:20 “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 for me.” Christmas decorations are appearing and the annual celebration is beginning. Jesus’ coming to earth is the world event which frees mankind from himself. Now happiness and peace become the life of all Christians. Can you think of anything else which comes close to the love Jesus shows by coming to earth? We all live by faith—-let your light shine!

Galatians 2:16 “know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law, no one will be justified.” God is perfect. He demands perfection. You and I are incapable of perfection. How then can we live every day of our lives with God at our side? Only because of the redeeming life, death and resurrection of our Savior. You and I are now perfect before God. That truth is not only overwhelming, it fills us with a joy nothing else approaches. Cherish that truth!
