You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified (Galatians 3:1). You know the scene. Star Wars–the real one, the first one. Luke and Obi Wan–the real one, the first … Continue reading
I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing(Galatians 2:21). Think about it. When we try to work our way to heaven, when we try to be … Continue reading
The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20). Frankly, I don’t know how those non-believer types do it. I mean, to wake … Continue reading
