Gratitude: thankfulness
Humility: a right thinking of whom you are – both good points and faults - sandwiched between pride
and self-abasement (thinking you’re the worst at everything even when you are not)
Jesus fulfills the Law, is our sacrificial substitute (the Lamb of God), and in Him we are made right
with God and not through any works of righteousness.
God offers salvation to all people – to all who will humbly acknowledge they need it
Religious leaders during Jesus’ time put their traditions above God’s word and so misrepresented
God to His people.
God values people’s ability to choose – He wants all to come to know Him, but some will reject Him
Concentrate on:
Galatians, an epistle or letter, was written by Paul to the church in Galatia, which he visited,
told them of God’s grace and salvation through faith in Christ, but were now listening to false teachers who were trying to teach faith and obedience to the law.
In the letter Paul tells them that God is the source of his message, he preaches justification by
faith alone (not by obeying the law), and backs it up by discussing the promise given to Abraham before the Law was given to Moses.
Under grace we have the choice to serve others in love, however it is a struggle – like going the
opposite way on an escalator (if we don’t strive to serve – walk up the down escalator – we will by default be selfish and give in to destructive forces)
Under grace we have the choice to act on the deeds of the flesh or produce the fruit of the Spirit.
We can help produce that fruit by abiding in Christ through prayer, Bible study, fellowship, and ministry.
Under grace we have the choice to serve others in love by restoring sinners and helping one
another with problems
