Great encouragement Nick! Well said. I’ll start today focused on the peace, freedom, and life changing power of the Gospel. My goal will be to end today the same way...
To our readers... thank you for journeying through the NT with us! I hope it’s been great for you already, and we’ve just read one book! Please - EVERYONE - make a social media post and ask your friends and family to join us today - to JUMP in as we start Galatians. Thanks!
Great encouragement to keep the true gospel supreme in our lives, Nick!
Today's passage says, "Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins that He might rescue us (v.4)"...what a glorious truth, medicine for the soul... "...only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ (v.7)."
I find in my heart that I can tolerate a little disturbance of truth far more that I should, and far more than the truth of scripture allows. Thankfully, we have "the grace of Christ, (v. 6)" to which we are called (v.15). And we can flee to this shelter of truth and come before his throne of grace to receive His grace. For we need his grace everyday.
John Newton said, "We serve a gracious Master — who will overrule even our mistakes to His glory and our own advantage." Great start to the weekend. Thank you!
Such truth and encouragement! Thanks Nick. I appreciate your faithfulness and gift in sharing.
Great truth today in Galatians! May we rely on the Gospel and not some perversion of it, like belief in ourselves or in the government or in our works, etc. God's word is the ultimate source of truth in our lives! Thanks for breaking this down for us today, Nick!
A great reminder that the Good News of Jesus Christ is the "bedrock of our faith". Thanks Nick, very encouraging!
Excited to start the book of Galatians! Thanks for the encouragement today!
Thanks Nick. Emily and I enjoyed the video message today. We're looking forward to going through Galatians together!
Awesome points, Nick! What you said about v10 really stuck out to me “if I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
A friend and I were JUST having this conversation the other day about our current world and hard decisions we, as Christians, probably have lying ahead of us. We talked together about Noah and how crazy he looked to others and how that may be us VERY soon. Are we ready for that and are we living that even today? That convicted my heart today! Thank you for your devotion!
Hitting on works and acceptance with your emphasis on Galatians 1:10 was huge for me. The Gospel is the only thing that brings life change. Wow!
Wow! Powerful video message, Nick! Jesus Christ is the life-change that the world needs.
Great encouragement Nick! There are plenty of " new revelations" even in our time that would draw us away from the simple message of the Gospel. Always test what you hear against what you know to be true from the scriptures. Our advantage over the Galatians is that we have the scriptures readily available. How hard it must have been without them! We are truly Blessed.
