01/09/2024: Galatians 3:2-3 – We receive the Holy Spirit by faith, and we live daily in the Spirit by faith.

Galatians 3:2-3 (NKJV)

Thought for today – We receive the Holy Spirit by faith, and we live daily in the Spirit by faith.

If faith in Jesus Christ by the gospel is essential for salvation, then how can anyone convince you that your daily relationship with Him requires obedience to a set of rules established by men or the church?  No wonder Paul calls them foolish.  It is a logical contradiction to believe that faith in the gospel saves but something else is needed for strength or success in your spiritual life.  Devotion to tradition and religion will only bring pride, frustration, jealousy, bitterness, and failure in one’s walk with Jesus Christ.

That’s what the Book says!
