A Compelling Truth: A 30 Day Journey through Galatians with Rob Stanmoreနမူနာ

DAY 11

If you could have ever doubted Paul’s passion, you discover it here.

Why would Paul use such strong language? And is Paul referencing the remake of Bewitched?

You may be reading this plan and you’ve recently started following Jesus, or for some of you maybe you've been following Jesus for a number of years.

Paul is addressing that the Gospel isn’t just a starting block for Christians, it is the whole marathon.

We aren’t only saved by the gospel, but we grow by the gospel.

Paul is speaking to the temptation of the Galatians to start with the Gospel and then think they have to go to back to living under the law, now that they believe the Gospel.

You might feel you’ve accepted Jesus and now it’s time to work on being a “good person” or by counting how many bad or good things you do.

The truth is, the gospel is like a shower. We need it daily.

If you’ve been a Christian for many years you might feel like you’re working for God, but you can then forget God in the work.

We are not only saved through the Gospel, but we grow through it by daily recognising our need of Jesus and our dependence on Him. 

Question

How could you “grow” in grace based on this revelation?
