Read Today's Passage
Man, Paul really tears into the Galatians for relying solely upon the Law in this chapter. How many of us modern-day Christians have turned our faith into a rigid list of do's and don'ts that we have to follow in order to be good Christians instead of relying upon the life change that the Spirit brings when He takes up residence in our lives? The Law was only there to help humans until Jesus arrived on the scene! It was set up to lead us to Christ, and now that He has come, we are in His presence! The Law - while not being null and void, because it agrees with the promise of God - is not needed any longer. Jesus accomplished this. Sacrifices, circumcision, all of it!
I really can't wait to see where Paul goes with these last couple verses of today's passage. No Jew or Gentile, but all one in Jesus...
