THE SOLUTION GALATIANS

THE PROBLEM TRAINED IN THE ART OF SELF-HELP GOD IN HIS GRACE GETS US STARTED ON THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY BUT WE QUICKLY TAKE OVER AND RELY ON OUR OWN ABILITY TO DO GOD’S WILL

A CHOICE WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT? SELF-HELP? FAITH THAT LISTENS? PROBABLY THE FIRST BECAUSE WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE SECOND

WHO CAN HELP US? LET US INTERVIEW ABRAHAM GOD CALLS HIM HIS FRIEND SO HE MUST HAVE SOME USEFUL INSIGHTS

INTERVIEW WITH ABRAHAM “GOD IS LOOKING FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE HIS PROMISES [3:6] HE PROMISED ME AND ONE OF MY DESCENDENTS, JESUS THE CHRIST, A BLESSING THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ALL PEOPLE [3:16] TO ENJOY THE BLESSING YOU NEED TO BECOME ONE OF MY FAMILY [3:29]

FAITH IS ESSENTIAL THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE BAPTISED INTO MY DESCENDENT, JESUS CHRIST [3:27] GOD IS LOOKING FOR FAITH. MY FAITH GAVE ME HOPLE, BUT JESUS’ FAITH IS LIFE-CHANGING. WHEN YOU CONNECT AND COMMIT TO HIM YOU CAN RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT [3:14]

WHAT DO WE RECEIVE? I BELIEVED GOD AND RECEIVED A SON, ISAAC, BUT WHEN YOU BELIEVE JESUS, YOU RECEIVE GOD! I RECEIVED THINGS FROM GOD, BUT YOU WILL BE INVADED BY GOD AND THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

WHAT KIND OF FAITH? YOU NEED TO BELIEVE JUST LIKE I DID, YOU MUST STOP RELYING ON HUMAN EFFORT, HUMAN SOLUTIONS AND TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD. YOU NEED TO BE CONVINCED THAT HE IS BOTH WILLING AND VERY ABLE TO DO ALL THAT HE SAYS” [SEE ROMANS 4:18-25]

THE CENTRALITY OF JESUS CHRIST 3: THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS MAKES ESCAPE FROM THE PRISON OF SIN AND LIFE CHANGE POSSIBLE 3:14,5. THE KEY TO ESCAPE AND CHANGE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT RESIDENT IN OUR LIVES/HEARTS

THE WAY GOD WORKS FROM THE FATHER [SOURCE] THROUGH THE SON [MEDIUM] BY MEANS OF THE SPIRIT [POWER]

CHANGE IS POSSIBLE THE PRESENCE OF THE SPIRIT MEANS GOD IS AT WORK WHEN WE WELCOME THE SPIRIT GOD GOES TO WORK IN OUR LIVES HE WILL CHANGE THINGS, PARTICULARLY OUR RELATIONSHIPS

CHANGES TO RELATIONSHIPS ENSLAVING SIN 5:1 GOD 4:4-9 SELF-EFFORT 2:19 THE DESTRUCTIVE WORLD 6:14, 1:4 OTHERS IN THE FAMILY 3:28 THE FUTURE 5:21
