The Daily is Our Resource for Studying God’s Word
Today, we are continuing in our short detour from Luke, and going into the Book of Galatians. This powerful Book reminds us that we are justified by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Nothing more. Nothing less. As believers we can find true freedom in Christ rather than reverting to the bonds of legalism. Nothing we can do or be will justify ourselves!

I will be the first to admit that I can be a snob about the types of food I eat, books I read, and clothing labels I wear. It’s easy to think those choices define us. But Paul reminds us that the greatest clothing we can wear is Christ’s righteousness, and the greatest statement about us is that we are in Christ Jesus, and by extension we are one with all others who claim Christ.

The main purpose of Paul’s letter to the church in Galatia was to counter the argument put forth by a group known as the Judaizers who believed those coming to faith in Jesus must first submit to Jewish customs, rites and the Law before being accepted into the Christian community. This may seem like a “no-brainer” to us today, but this was the first big issue the Church of Jesus Christ faced and there was much debate, with key members of leadership on opposite sides of the issue. And what was at stake? Only the very gospel of grace offered by Jesus and taught by Paul!!!
