Galatians

Galatians.... I read some of it this morning. I have to say, it is a wonderful wonderful Book of the Bible. I also had a commentary on it by Dr Campbell. This is what he said about the introduction of the book. It is true and intense. I love it.

The most significant truths in this epistle given by Paul by the Divine Revelation of the Risen Christ:

1. There is only ONE Gospel

2. Jesus Christ revealed this Gospel to the Apostle Paul

3. A person is justified through the faithfulness of Christ instead of the works of the Law

4. Believers are identified with the crucifixion of Christ

5. The promise of the Spirit is received through Faith

6. The Law was never able to give LIFE, It served only as "school teacher" to lead those under it to Christ

7.We are made sons of God through Faith in Jesus Christ

8. All believers are ONE in Christ

9. Believers are called to a position of freedom in Christ

10. There is a continuous struggle between the flesh and the Spirit

11 the Holy Spirit produces Fruit in believers

12. The only thing that counts is a new creature, not physical rites.

Are you seeing a pattern here? It is all about Christ and what He has done for YOU. It is not what "Ginny" can do for HIM to earn salvation. He did it all. Now you might say.. Well what about good works.. Remember, The bible does not contradict itself. If one verse says.. "You must enter into good works.." and then you go to another verse and it says.."For by Grace are you saved through FAITH, and that is NOT of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God...NOT of works lest any man should boast.."Then you must look at those and see the difference. You must see who the Lord is talking to, what time, the context of it, etc. You must search the Scriptures yourself and see the Things That Differ.

We enter into Good works by the love of God and the Grace of God... but we are not saved by good works. For we are made WHOLE ONLY IN CHRIST JESUS. He is our hope, our stronghold, our anchor. He is our SAVIOR. Think about it. Search the Scriptures yourself. Do not take my word for it. Take the Lord's word for it.

Like my dad said Sunday morning.. " Our identity on earth is not our job position, our money, etc.. our identity is Christ. That is your PURPOSE.. It is HIS doing.." Rejoice in His Mercy. For His love is above all.

I hope everyone has a great day. I am praying for David, My family, His family, my Friends, Job situations, and to grow in Christ.

I love the Lord, I love life, I love my family, friends, My BF :).. One day at a time.

Keep A good Attitude, Stay Positive, and do your best..
