Galatians 3 - Praying God's Word

Please read Galatians 3.

Meditate on verses 6 and 9.

Even so Abraham believed God,

and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

So then those who are of faith

are blessed with Abraham the believer.

There was one time in the Bible when Abraham was declared righteous. Abraham was 76 years old, and God made promises to him. After God declared His promises, Abraham “believed in the LORD, and He reckoned it to him as righteousness” (Genesis 15:6). God declared Abraham to be right with God because Abraham believed God.

Approximately 40 years later, Abraham showed great faith in God by being willing to sacrifice Isaac. Interestingly, God did not credit him with righteousness for such a noble deed because Abraham was already righteous. Abraham was righteous because God is righteous. Paul wanted the Galatian Christians to understand that truth about salvation. God wants you to understand it, too. Salvation is begun and completed by the Spirit of God. You must believe God in order to be saved, to be declared righteous. You are a child of God through faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26). What the Spirit started in you is perfected by the Spirit living inside you (Galatians 3:3).

Pray Galatians 3:6, 9, and 27 over someone for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, may __________ be blessed like Abraham the believer.

 Let them believe You, so they can be declared righteous.

 May they be baptized (immersed and identified) into You.

 Let them clothe themselves with You, Christ.


In Your name, Jesus~”
