Do you bear the scars of JESUS CHRIST?!?!?!?
Good morning everyone!! What a great day to be alive in the Lord Jesus Christ!!!! God is good all the time, all the time, God is good. Today let's finish up Galatians.
Galatians6:17-18 "FROM NOW ON, DON'T LET ANYONE TROUBLE ME WITH THESE THINGS. FOR I BEAR ON MY BODY THE SCARS THAT SHOW I BELONG TO JESUS. DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, MAY THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOUR SPIRIT. AMEN."
Back in the days we are glad we do not live or experience, many times the masters would mark the slaves in such a way that people would know who they belonged to. Paul carries the scars from being imprisioned, beaten, and abused because he carried the news of Jesus. Paul does not want to be bother by things that the Galatians brought forth, like having to be circumcised to be a believer. Jesus died for us unconditionally....no circumcision, no piercings, only FAITH....this brings to mind one of my favorite praise songs - Open the eyes of my heart Lord, Open the eyes of my heart, so I may see you!!!!
What scars do you have? Where is your heart? vs 18 Paul's letter bodly declares the freedom of the Christian. We are not bound by the law, we are saved by Faith, to have everlasting life. As we want to grow we have to be careful about not being misled, watch out for man made laws in a church. Do they follow the Bible? This is the question we must ask. We are set free by JESUS CHRIST!!!
If we follow laws and revert back, it would be like a prisoner being released from jail, and he walks out for a minute, then turns around and walks back into his cell. We are set free by JESUS CHRIST!!! Since Jesus set us free, we must not go back into our bondage.....bondage of the world is a great bondage. We are free, thank God, we are free through JESUS CHRIST!!
Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
