Galatians 3:3 – “Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?”
We go to Christ for forgiveness, and then too often look to the law for power to fight our sins. Paul issues this rebuke: “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? . . . Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?
The only weapon that fought sin and conquered was the power that raised Jesus from the dead and not through constant blood sacrifices and rituals. To give an illustration : How did we receive salvation? We only trusted Jesus to save us, when we heard the gospel. So believers don’t need another salvation because they sinned; No! For example if the issue is my temper, I must kill my angry temper in the same way.
We must be conquerors through Him who has loved us if we will be conquerors at all. We must be conscious of our new nature in Christ by the Holy Spirit, so that we can walk with a new mind set and emotions that are of Him. In constant prayers and the exercises of the Spirit we trade what we received of the world to demonstrate the glorious life we have received of His Spirit. Glory Hallelujah!!!
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
