GALATIANS

Gal 3:1You crazy Galatians!

……you no longer have the crucified Jesus in clear focus in your lives.

GALATIANS

Gal 3:1-62 Let me put this question to you: How did your new life begin? [how did you get the holy spirit??]

GALATIANS

Gal 3:1-6only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God.

GALATIANS

Gal 3:1-66 Don't these things happen among you just as they happened with Abraham?

He believed God.

GALATIANS

Gal 3:11-12

Habakkuk had it right: "The person who believes God, is set right by God — and that's the real life."

Gal 3:1 have the crucified Jesus in clear focus

Gal 3:26 By BELIEF in Christ you are in direct relationship with God.

Gal 4:21-2424 This illustrates the very thing we are dealing with now. The two births represent two ways of being in relationship with God.

GALATIANS

Gal 4:29-3029 …the child who came from faithless connivance (Ishmael) harassed the child who came — empowered by the Spirit — from the faithful promise (Isaac).
