Seek First 365: A One Year Bible Reading Plan for Daily Devotionਨਮੂਨਾ

Reflection:

• In verses 12-13, what were the true motives of those who were trying to persuade Gentile converts to be circumcised?
• In verses 14-15, what did Paul boast about and what did he state that truly matters?
• In verse 16, what blessing did Paul give to those who embrace his convictions?

Pray and Apply:

Paul called out the true motives of those who were persuading believers to forsake the Gospel of grace. Motives are powerful, and when not put in check, can wreak havoc in both our own lives and the lives of others. Take a few minutes to pray and allow the Holy Spirit to continue to purify your motives. Open your heart before God and let Him speak to you and minister to your heart. Ask God to create within your heart a pure motive to see the Gospel of Grace made known to those around you.
