Galatians 1: 3-5 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul is still in his introduction to the Galatian Christians here. He was in a position to pass on a blessing from God to others\u2026. The challenge to us is, do we know God well enough to do this as well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul knew God\u2019s grace and peace and he knew where it came from.\u2026 it was the work of our Lord Jesus Christ. \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Note that he uses Christ\u2019s full title here\u2026. none of this plain \u201cJesus\u201d as we hear so much in Christian circles today. The world uses the name \u201cJesus Christ\u201d in blasphemy and expletives, but only a genuine believer uses His full title. Let us see that we make full use of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We sometimes wonder if non-Christian people we associate with, notice that we don\u2019t talk as they do\u2026.I remember once when I was having my weekly game of golf (and I played golf very badly!) and had made a particularly bad shot. One of the ladies I was playing with, said, \u201cI don\u2019t know how you can have a shot like that, and not be swearing!\u201d So people DO notice how we act and talk! Let us not let the Lord Jesus Christ down in our speech and actions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the next verse, Paul says why He is our Lord Jesus Christ\u2026.. it is because He gave Himself for our sins and delivered us from this present evil world. This is God\u2019s will for each human being. Let us see that we live in the enjoyment of this blessing and not go back into the scum of what this world has to offer! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Paul finishes off his introduction by acknowledging God\u2019s glory which is everlasting\u2026.. this is the eternal praise of heaven (Revelation 5:12-14)<\/em>. If we don\u2019t want to do this on earth now, we certainly won\u2019t want to do it for eternity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The blessings of God are mercy and peace,<\/em><\/strong> We can thank Him now that they\u2019ll never cease;<\/em><\/strong> Through the work that was done, \u00a0<\/em><\/strong> By His well loved Son,<\/em><\/strong> \u2018Twill last well beyond our decease.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 Galatians 1: 3-5 Paul is still in his introduction to the Galatian Christians here.
