Reading the Bible can feel intimidating sometimes. But one simple way of studying Scripture is called S.O.A.P. It stands for "Scripture," "Observation," "Application," and "Prayer." We'll show you how—it's easy!

S: Scripture

If you haven't already, read today's passage of Scripture. Then, summarize it in your own words.

O: Observation

Read Galatians 3:23–29 again.

• How does it describe the change that happens in our lives because of Jesus?
• What does it teach us about the story God is writing?
• What questions do you still have?

A: Application

• How would you describe being clothed with Christ?
• The work of Jesus undoes all the harmful parts of our stories. What promise can you trust because of this?
• What's something you've felt locked up by in the past? What would it look like to free yourself of that today?

P: Prayer

Spend some time in prayer about the story God is writing in your life. Ask God to help you let go of things of the past and embrace the promise available to you through Jesus. Then say thank you for the promise of blessing available to you as a child of God.
