Daily Devo | It's All About Trusting in God's Grace (New Testament in a Year, Galatians 3)

Paul here challenges the Galatians for abandoning the gospel of grace and turning back to a system of earning God's favor through obedience to the law. He reminds them that their own experience points to the truth — they received the Holy Spirit by believing the good news about Jesus, not by obeying a set of rules. In addition to their own experience, the very writings of Moses point to Abraham's relationship with God being based on faith, long before the Law was even given. We are all children of God by faith and by faith, all the spiritual descendants of Abraham. It is all about grace and faith.

For Reflection:

- In what ways am I tempted to rely on my own efforts rather than God's grace?

- How does Abraham's example challenge common assumptions about salvation?

- What do I think and feel about Christ taking on the curse (all the consequences of sin) for me?

- Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving me a life based on the firm foundation of your grace rather than the shifting sand of my faithfulness.
