Galatians 3:1-5

Galatians 3:1-5 EASY

You Christians in Galatia are foolish! Someone has taught you to believe crazy ideas! I taught you clearly that Jesus Christ died on the cross as a sacrifice on our behalf. You understood that. I only want you to tell me one thing: When you received God's Spirit, was it because you had obeyed the rules of God's Law? No! You received God's Spirit because you believed the message about Christ. Do not think like fools! You first became believers by the help of God's Spirit. So do not think that you can use your own human strength to complete God's work. You have suffered in many ways as believers. Surely this could not be without any good purpose. God gives you the gift of his Spirit. He also does powerful miracles among you. But he does not do these things because you obey the rules of his Law. No, he does them because you believed the message about Christ.
