Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules.

Follow the example set by the churches of Macedonia who, though poor, were spiritually rich when they gave beyond their ability and God’s work went forward.

All we need, we find in God. He wants to be in the details of our lives, being enough for us in every situation. This sobering study of 2 Corinthians 7 highlights many ungodly things that too easily seep into our lives because of pride. Sometimes they sneak in because we are not believing God. Ask God to show you what’s keeping you from Him as you listen.

Here’s some truth you need to take to heart: In Christ, you are a new creation; all things have become new. You have been crucified with Christ, your old nature is dead. You live by faith and not by sight. God has done it; it’s up to you to believe it.

The biggest lie circulating today is that we will not be judged for sin. Somebody has to pay. As followers of Christ, we trust that the Lord Jesus already paid the penalty for our sins. So with the fear of the Lord, we tell others how they too can avoid God’s judgment. Don’t refuse God’s love! Turn instead to Jesus and, by faith, receive His gift of forgiveness.

Likely you know your strengths and weaknesses. We all have them. Ever wonder how God could use you for good in His ministry?

When you list God’s character traits, don’t forget “mercy.” God is rich in mercy. In other religions, you must do, do, do to satisfy or appease some god.

What an encouraging passage to study!

God’s Old Testament Law was good for the season, but the “new covenant” is so much more glorious. The Spirit makes it permanent in our hearts. As we abide in Christ, walking in the power of God’s Spirit, He transforms us into the image of our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
