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!

Galatians 1:11 “I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.” God has a purpose for each of us. Paul’s obvious purpose was to receive the Gospel and preach that Gospel to the world. Adam had a purpose. Noah had a purpose. Ruth had a purpose. David had a purpose. Elizabeth had a purpose. Mary had a purpose. You have a purpose. I have a purpose. None of us are on this earth to simply exist. We are all Children of our Heavenly Father. What is your purpose?

Galatians 1:10 “Am I now trying to win the approval of men or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.” All of us tend to want approval. We like to be liked. Some of us are more people pleasers than others, but we all like to be a part of a group, large or small and receive the approval of that group. The preceding is not God’s way of thinking. God has very simple advise—follow me. That’s it. Simple. The approval of an individual, group or a large crowd is irrelevant. Earthly approval is most often very temporary—-don’t be fooled by it. God’s approval is eternal—be consumed by it. Have a great weekend.
