Faith, Not Works, Saves - Galations 3

S - Galations 3:25 And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.
O - Paul is talking about how the Galations were still trying to earn redemption through keeping the law. However, since Jesus came and paid the sacrifice for their sins they only need to have faith in Him to get redemption. Trying to keep the law will not bring about salvation.
A - Some times I try to do everything right, not only because it will bring salvation but to show that I am a good person. There is nothing wrong with trying to 100% obey God's commandments but to do so in assuming this will bring about God's favor and salvation, is a misconception. I should be wanting to obey Him because He is God and He gave His only son so that I and those that are around me could spend eternity with Him. I need to also grant grace to others around me that may not be following His commands also, as these commands won't bring salvation to them either. Instead I should share the good news so that they too may be redeemed.
P - God, I praise you this morning for the awesome things you have done and created. I pray for your healing power to come on my family and to be super-natural healing. Thank you for your son Jesus and the sacrifice that He made for me. Help me to walk in your ways, not to help me feel worthy of your sacrifice but instead out of respect and worship for who you are and for what you did. Bless me and my family today.
