May 12
Introduction
Paul reminds the Galatians that Christ has set them free from the yoke of slavery by which the Law had them bound. He warns them about those who are seeking to convince them that male Gentile Christians should be circumcised, and he exhorts the Galatians to let the Spirit direct their lives.
Scripture Reading
Galatians 5:1-26
Today’s Key Verse: Galatians 5:22a
The Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control.
Reflect
Reread verses 1, 13-15. How do you interpret what Paul says about freedom? Does such freedom entail responsibility? What impact does this freedom have on the way you live? Compare the list of behaviors in verses 19-21 with those in verses 22 and 23. How does Paul contrast the workings of the Spirit with human nature? In verse 25, Paul says that the Spirit “must also control our lives.” In what ways does the Spirit direct your life?
Pray
Spirit of God, produce in me love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. Guide me to live as a child of God. These things I ask in Jesus’s holy name. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Galatians 6:1-18: Paul gives the Galatians instructions for living in community.
