The Power of God (Romans 1:7-17)
When we think about God’s power, we usually call to mind things like His ability to speak the universe into existence. Or perhaps we call to mind God’s ability to raise the dead and to judge all mankind. But there are other aspects of God’s power which have a direct bearing on our lives. The […]
Introduction and Greeting (Philippians 1:1-2)
An older man was thinking back over his life. As his eyes fell on the chains which bound him he contemplated the series of events which had led to his captivity. He remembered his teachers and the fine education they had given him. He remembered his burning zeal for God which had led him to […]
The Most Important Thing (Galatians 6:11-18)
It is one thing to say that we believe something. It is quite another to be willing to suffer for it. In fact, we can gauge the depth of our convictions by how much persecution we are willing to endure for holding our beliefs. The Apostle Paul was so convinced that salvation can only be […]
Doing Good (Galatians 6:1-10)
The way to become righteous is not to try to keep a set of religious rules and regulations, but to have a changed character which, by nature, does not want to sin. When a person becomes a follower of Christ, his old self is crucified by being baptized into Christ’s death and he is resurrected […]
Flesh And Spirit (Galatians 5:19-26)
Throughout history mankind has attempted to control behavior by rules and regulations. However, the problem with this approach is that it cannot change human nature. A person may conform to the law because of fear of the consequences of breaking the law, but law can never curb desire. This is one of the fundamental problems […]
Led By The Spirit (Galatians 5:13-18)
One of the problems every society faces is how to regulate behavior. It is obvious that unless people agree on rules of conduct, society would soon degenerate into chaos. Many of the rules have nothing to do with morality or ethics – they exist merely to create order. For example, traffic laws have nothing to […]
Law vs. A New Nature (Galatians 5:1-12)
Certain choices are mutually exclusive. If we do this, we cannot do that. We cannot do both this and that. We have to make a choice between the two. It is the same way in spiritual things. Faith in Christ is incompatible with trying to earn our salvation by doing good works. Either we have […]
The Parable Of Hagar And Sarah (Galatians 4:21-31)
We do things in the expectation that we will obtain particular results. Unfortunately, things which we did not expect often result from our actions. These unexpected consequences occur because we often do not take sufficient time to think about our actions, or we are ignorant of the significance of what we do. The followers of […]
Miserable Principles (Galatians 4:8-20)
Why do people turn away from the truth? There could be several reasons. Some are deceived. In other words, they have mistakenly believed falsehood as the truth. Others are misinformed. They do not understand the truth which has been told to them. There may be another reason as well: For example, they have begun to […]
Heirs Of The Promise (Galatians 3:26-4:7)
In his letter to the followers of Christ in the Roman province of Galatia, the Apostle Paul proved that we attain righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ rather than through attempting to keep a law through our own efforts. If righteousness were the only result from putting our faith in Christ, it would be extremely […]
