Remaining In The Spirit

 

Today's verse is Galatians 3:3

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 

    Paul had testified that according to the law, he was blameless, that the only way the law condemned him was by lust, that is, he wanted that which was not his. Yet, having come to faith in Jesus Christ, he counted all of that as dung, as Isaiah testified, all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. Therefore, by the flesh, that is by our own strength attempting to follow after the law, comes no good thing. But elsewhere Paul admonishes us to surrender not to the flesh, but to the Spirit who teaches us to Love, God first, then one another, which also includes ourselves, for we are to love others as ourselves, all by faith, that is trusting our God to lead us into all Righteousness for his Name’s sake. Amen.

To God be The Glory
