Galatians 3 - Praying God's Word

Please read Galatians 3.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/gal/3/1/s_1094001

Meditate verses 26-28.

For you are all sons of God through

 faith in Christ Jesus.  For all of you who were baptized

 into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is

neither slave nor free man; there is neither male

 nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Paul continued to help the Galatians see the difference between seeking God with the Law and seeking Him with the Spirit. Salvation comes as a result of the Spirit in a new covenant that frees believers from the Law; salvation is not perfected by works of the Law.

Jesus very specifically creates a new system of righteousness.  His redemption on the cross allows both Jews and Gentiles to receive the promise of the Spirit (vs. 13-14). The Spirit of God perfects believers in His holiness, convicting and teaching Christians how to live in Christ (John 16:7-15).

In verses 2 and 5, Paul uses a phrase “hearing with faith” to describe how people become Christians. You hear the Gospel and believe it. Hearing with faith is the faith that creates Christians and sets them apart from those who are not believers. And once you have received Jesus by faith and become sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ, your status changes in how you are viewed by God (vs. 26, 28).

Pray Galatians 3:5 and 28 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, help _________ and me to hear by faith.

Thank You for providing Your Spirit,

LORD; work miracles among us.

Help us be one in You, Christ Jesus.

In Your name, Jesus ~”
