O why are You so foolish! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?
Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
(Galatians 3:1-9)
I edited Galatians out of the first statement because I felt that this was written to me tonight.
LORD I am sorry for attempting to rectify my sins by my own actions and not by faith.
Bless me with the man Abraham, for I believe as he did without seeing.
Why have I forgotten what Your Spirit has already done in my life so quickly?
I will walk by faith and not by works, the works will fall away but Your Spirit abides forever!
Thank you LORD for working in me.
Amen
