Today’s Daily Guide 6th May 2025 Reading By Scripture Union
TOPIC: Are You Out of Your Mind?
OPENING PRAYER: Help me dear Lord to meet with you as I meditate on your word in Jesus name
SCRIPTURE: Galatians 3:1-14
QUESTIONS FOR MEDITATION:
► Q7: What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?
► Q8: Is there any other Biblical passage that can help me understand this passage better?
What truth is Paul seeking to bring out of this message to the Galatians? Three of his five arguments to prove that a person is justified only by faith in Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:16) are recorded in today’s passage: An argument from (a) the Galatians’ experience; (b) Abraham’s experience; and (c) the implications of Christ’s death on the cross. Through these arguments, Paul seeks to show the foolishness of turning from faith in Christ to depending on obedience of the law.
The Judaizers claimed that since Jesus is the promised seed of Abraham, anyone who would become a Christian must also be circumcised like Abraham. But Paul proves here that it is not the children by blood but by faith that truly belong to Abraham (Galatians 3:6-9). It is only through faith in Jesus that men of all ages are blessed with Abraham. In Galatians 3:10, having shattered the Jew’s confidence in their physical relationship to Abraham, he continues to show that the law brings a curse. It is not possible for anyone to keep all the laws. Therefore, bondage is the result. See Deuteronomy 27:26
And So:
Meditate on Galatians 3:13-14 throughout the day and thank the Lord for taking your curse upon Himself on the cross. How will the removal of the curse affect the way you live?
