In Galatians 3:2-4, Paul asked the Galatians why they were trying to reach perfection by depending upon the flesh. He urged them to remember that entirely new spiritual lives were given birth because of faith and leaning on the Holy Spirit. Therefore he asked, why did they need to try to reach perfection any way other than the way they began? He concluded by telling them that if they did not stop this type of legalistic behaviour , everything they had suffered would be in vain and accomplish no purpose. I dont know about you, but I have come too far and gone through too much to mess it all up now. I want to know the right way to approach God, and as far as I can see in His Word, that is through faith in what Jesus has done, not faith in what I can do. We cannot live as victorious Christians without knowing these things. We cannot succeed without stepping out in faith, not in our works. If we believe our acceptance is based on our doing, we will always feel rejected when we fail to do the right thing. But if we see that our acceptance is based on what God has done, we will truly be free. #StandTall
