Receiving The Spirit Through Faith

“I want you to believe what you’re hearing today that God loves you and he wants you to repent of your sins, he knows that you’re not perfect. You don't have to be perfect.” - Wesleyne

Word of Today - Galatians 3

This Chapter contains a rich and comprehensive description on the central theme of justification by faith rather than by works of the law. Paul begins by appealing to the Galatians' experience of receiving the Spirit through faith, emphasizing the foolishness of relying on works of the law to attain righteousness. He clearly illustrates how we were justified by faith long before the law was given, thus emphasizing the prominence of faith in God's covenant relationship. Paul further argues that the law served as a temporary custodian until the coming of Christ, who redeemed believers from the curse of the law through His sacrificial death on the cross, thereby uniting them with God.

From Galatians 3, you’ll learn about the foundational doctrine of justification by faith and its implications for a Christian life and identity. From Galatians verse 2 to 5 Paul poses the question as to whether the believers received the spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith. This theological exposition underscores the universality of salvation through faith in Christ, irrespective of ethnic or cultural background. This chapter challenges the notion of earning righteousness through human effort and highlights the sufficiency of Christ's work on the cross for redemption. It teaches you that your standing before God is not based on your works but on your faith in Christ, leading to a life characterized by trust in God's grace rather than self-reliance. Paul's impassioned argument in Galatians 3 serves as a powerful reminder of the centrality of faith in the gospel of Christ and the transformative impact it has on believers' lives.
