Today’s Scripture: Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for”The righteous shall live by faith.” Galatians 3:11 ESV
Do you believe God? God made a promise to Abraham 430 years before the “law” was presented to us from the mountain. Do you believe you are a child of God by His promise or His law? This was Paul’s question to the Galatians.
Galatians 3:6 says Abraham “believed God”. Do we? God sent His Spirit into our hearts not because of what we have done according to the law but because we believed. It is our faith, our believing God that makes us heirs to this promise of God.
Through faith we receive God’s promise and His Spirit. God only calls us to believe Him. We are not called to believe IN Him but to believe Him. He made a promise to Abraham and we are heirs to that promise if we believe. I choose to believe and to live by this faith, how about you?
Today’s Prayer: Abba, Father thank You for Your promise. I believe You God that I am an heir to Your promise. Your promise stands forever and above all. Thank You for adopting me as Your child. I do believe You have and I do place all my faith in You. God I come to You and accept Your promise. Amen
