Please read Galatians 4.
Meditate on verse 9.
But now that you have come to know God,
or rather to be known by God,
how is it that you turn back to the weak and worthless elemental
things,
to which you desire to be
enslaved all over again?
If you are
in Christ, you are known by God. Let that truth soak in for a moment. Now think
about the most important person alive today. Can you imagine knowing and being
known by that person?
As a
believer, you are known intimately by God Almighty. This kind of knowing means
knowing intimately like a husband and wife know each other. This is amazingly
freeing truth!
Paul wanted
the believers in Galatia to know they were loved and known by God; adhering to
religious ritual and the commands of men would not make God know or love them
any better. There were people in the Galatian churches who said Christians had
to keep parts of the Old Testament law to be right with God.
Paul wrote
this letter to continue discipling the believers who were still children in
their faith. They needed to grow and mature in Christ.
Pray
Galatians 4:19 over those for whom you are laboring as a faithful, prayerful
watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, I
continue to labor on behalf of __________ until You are formed in them.
For the
sake of Your name, Jesus~
The WATCHMAN
on the WALL ~ Dr. Ron and Marsha Harvell
