1You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? 2This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 3Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 4Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
How would you like to go to church one Sunday and have your pastor begin with this scripture referring to you?
Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?
The Galatians were returning to the Law, making it a requirement of salvation.
Some do it in our age also. Examples are;
You must go to church on the sabbath.
You must be baptized to be saved.
May your salvation be by faith and faith alone. May you shine the light of Jesus Christ everywhere you go!
Blessings, David
