Read Galatians 3:7-9 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed. ”So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

Read Galatians 3:3-6 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”? Reflect What does Paul cite as the source and power of our life transformation? Are we perfected by the works

If you’ve lived long enough in this world, you can probably say, “I’ll never forget the moment everything changed.” The job you counted on disappeared. The diagnosis blindsided you. A relationship shattered.   And it’s in these moments, when life cracks open without warning, that our faith is tested and our foundation revealed.  You see, the truth is this: trials aren't the enemy of faith. They're the pressure points that prove whether our trust in God is real or just theoret

And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.     Reflect   How does legalism nullify the grace of God?     If someone as
