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

DAY 6 OF 30

DAY 6

When we examine this verse, it gives us context about why Paul took Titus with him to Jerusalem. Titus was a “Greek”. The significance of Paul bringing an uncircumcised Greek to circumcised Jews was a clear demonstration that Christianity is about who I am, not what I do.

Paul writes, “...whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favouritism...”, which captures the truth of grace.

It’s not about your title or how many “good” things you’ve done that qualifies you into being favoured by God, but it’s simply about accepting Jesus.

Jesus changed the scoreboard. Paul was using Titus as a vivid and living illustration that it wasn’t about whether he was a Jew or Greek, circumcised or uncircumcised, popular or unpopular among men, but that he accepted Jesus. 

Today I want to encourage you: there’s nothing you can do to get yourself closer to God. By giving your life to Jesus, you are accepted and you are qualified.

This is the message of grace.


Question

If you are accepted and qualified by God, how does that change the way you approach God?
