Daily Bible Reading – June 2022: God’s Renewing Word of New Life in the Spirit

GIORNO 20 DI 30

June 20

Introduction

Paul describes his meeting with the apostles in Jerusalem, and he reports on a disagreement he had with Peter in Antioch. The chapter concludes with Paul’s teaching on how one is put right with God.

Scripture Reading

Galatians 2:1-21

Today’s Scripture: Galatians 2:16a

We know that a person is put right with God only through faith in Jesus Christ, never by doing what the Law requires.

Reflect

What was the “special task” that the apostles recognized had been given to Paul (verses 7-9)? The apostles asked that Paul “remember the needy in their group” (verse 10). In what ways do faith-based organizations remember the needy today? How do you remember the needy? What was the source of Paul’s conflict with Peter (verses 11-14)? According to Paul, how are we “put right” with God (verses 15-21)? What does being “put right with God” mean to you?

Pray

Almighty God, thank you for the gift of faith. Through faith in your Son, Jesus, I have been reconciled and put right with you. Teach me to live my life in ways that reflect your love and obedience to your will. In Jesus’s name, I pray. Amen.

And now, join us in a prayer of thanksgiving for God’s faithfulness to the Walak people of Indonesia. Loving God, the first New Testament in their mother tongue was dedicated in September 2021 after three previous postponements due to pandemic restrictions. But you, Lord God, answered their prayers. The Walak people can now read your precious Word in the language of their hearts. As one Walak leader said, “Now Jesus speaks Walak to proclaim the good news to us.” We pray for the translation team as they continue their dedicated work of translating the whole Bible into the Walak language. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Galatians 3:1-14: Paul discusses the relationship between the Law and faith.
