Wednesday, February 19, 2020 -Galatians

In part two of our series, "Galatians", Paul is intent on emphasizing the importance of not adding anything to Christ's gospel. Anything we could ever add to the message of Jesus makes it a false gospel. Jesus never promised health, wealth or prosperity to His followers. In fact, He stated the world would hate believers because they hated Him. Christians who read scripture for what is says can clearly see suffering, pain, heartache and loss this side of Heaven. We are taught everything we face here is storing an eternal weight of glory and all things here are temporary. We look to the cross to see our redemption and we cling to the resurrection power of Christ for salvation. We have freedom in Christ when we surrender because of what He endured when He gave His life for us, not because He promised everything would be easy.

 

Galatians 2:1-21
