About this listen
On Sunday morning, we looked at Galatians 3:1-14 together. Paul uses this section to explain in depth that all Christians are saved only through faith in Jesus. We get in by faith, and we stay in by faith. The emphasis is always on what Jesus has done for us rather than what we do. Paul showed this in particular by looking at the example of Abraham. When God promised Abraham a child despite Sarah being well past child-bearing age, Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. In other words, God immediately credited his account with being right with God. This was before Abraham did anything to prove his faith; it was all the work of God. This means that being a Christian is not about following rules but about God changing our hearts. Our basic stance towards God should be one of thanks and deep motivation to live differently, not just changing on the outside to try to be good enough. This week, reflect on the fact that you are deeply loved already and don't need to prove yourself to God for God to love you.
