Aug 29 The Power of God’s Word
Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ.– Galatians 3:2(NLT)
BELIEVING THE MESSAGE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you believe the good news about Christ?
Are you receiving the message that gives hope and light?
The only way you’ll receive Christ’s spirit is by faith
It is not by obeying laws that you will satiate.
No amount of good works will buy your salvation
The cross of Christ has already paid your redemption
Grow your faith by prioritizing Christ in your life
Free yourself from legalism so you can have God’s insight.
Have you heard the good news? Are you excited to know that Christ paid your debt of sin on the cross and you are free indeed? I used to live my life under the law by legalistically following the rules to the letter. I was blinded by these laws that prevented me from discerning what Christ had already done for me when he died on the cross. I did everything I can to gain my salvation, until God revealed to me in the bible that I didn’t have to. All I had to do was believe. Paul reminds the Galatians to focus on growing their faith instead of strictly adhering to the laws of Moses.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you that you saved me.
REFLECTION
How can you avoid legalism?
