Are You following the Law????.....or JESUS?????

Good morning everyone!!! Thank you for reading with me today. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. If you see where I make a mistake please let me know. Yesterday I typed Gal 5:9-10 and it should have been Gal 6:9-10. Sorry for the misprint.
Today, Galatians 6 : 11-12 "NOTICE WHAT LARGE LETTERS I USE AS I WRITE THESE CLOSING WORDS IN MY OWN HANDWRITING." (12)"Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised want to look good to others. They don't want to be persecuted for teaching that the cross of Christ alone can save."
vs 11 up to this point Paul probably dictated the letter to another person. At this point he takes the pen into his own hand to write his final, personal greetings. Paul did this in other letters as well, to add emphasis to his words and to validate that the letter was truly from him.
vs 12 The legalists were concerned about putting up a good front, present a good front to win favor of men and not lose popularity, position or prominence. They were trying to make the people follow the law, saying it is absolutely necessary. These legalists were not concerned for the Galatians, or for God, but only about their own comfort and reputation. They did not want to be persecuted by teaching about the cross of Christ, the symbol of suffering and shame, they were more concerned with their own comfort and pleasure.
Thank you for reading. Love you all. Pray for many, seveal unspoken requests, and for the floods in Texas to subside (as well as the rain).
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
