For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves! You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery

Galatians 5:6 boils it all down to this one thing...faith expressing itself through love...not through our arguments or explanations or defensiveness, but through love...that’s the only thing that counts. And when our faith expresses itself through the love and the kindness shown in the way we live, work and play...that’s a faith that will change the world. -Steven Curtis Chapman

The real issue is faith. It is a trust in God that shows by love and we show our real faith in Christ by the way in which we love. We come to have faith in Christ when we see what He has done. Love flows out of that, and as love grows, so too does faith.
You’ve probably heard someone say “God loves you.” Maybe you’ve even told people that. But too many Christians aren’t absolutely sure about God’s great love for them. Let this four day plan increase your capacity to receive God’s amazing love for you and open your heart to all the possibilities of being loved by the Creator of the Universe. It’s a love that changes your life!
This plan will explore what the letter of Galatians teaches us in four major areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action
