NOT INHERIT THE KINDOM OF GOD /GALATIANS 5:21

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 5:21

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

NOT INHERIT THE KINDOM OF GOD /GALATIANS 5:21

Although Paul maintains that it is impossible to earn a right relationship with God and eternal life in heaven by keeping the law or by following religious routines (Galatians 2:16; 5:4), he does teach that it is possible to shut oneself out of the kingdom by engaging in evil behaviors (1 Corinthians 6:9; Matthew 25:41; Matthew 25:40-46; Ephesians 5:7-11).

RESCUE US FROM THE PRESENT EVIL AGE / GALATIANS 1:3-5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 1:3-5

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

5To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

RESCUE US FROM THE PRESENT EVIL AGE / GALATIANS 1:3-5

This verse is probably an early confession of faith that was well known throughout the New Testament churches. It connects Christ’s death with the forgiveness of sins – our own acts of rebellion and offenses against God – and with spiritual rescue from “the present evil age.” At the center of Christ’s sacrifice – to restore people to a right relationship with God – is the goal to set people free from the evil that dominates the societies of this world. The first gospel message (the “good news” of forgiveness and new life now available because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ) preached after the Holy Spirit came to fill and empower Christ’s followers of the day of Pentecost included the words: “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation” (Acts 2:40). Christians must live to honor God and to serve His purposes. This includes refusing to be guided by the popular values, wisdom, opinions, corrupt desires, and selfish pleasures of those in the world who do not follow Christ (Romans 12:2; Titus 2:14).

THE SPIRIT … THE SINFUL NATURE / GALATIANS 5:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 5:17-18
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

THE SPIRIT … THE SINFUL NATURE / GALATIANS 5:17

The spiritual conflict within believers involves the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. The struggle is whether they will give in to their own sinful desires and yield to sin’s control, or whether they will surrender to the spirit’s demands and continue under Christ’s authority and control (Galatians 5:16; Romans 8:4-14). The battlefield is within each Christian, and the conflict will continue throughout their earthly lives if they are to reign with Christ in the future (Romans 7:7-25; 2 Timothy 2:12; Revelation 12:11; Ephesians 6:11). However, by relying on the power of the Holy Spirit and by following His guidance, a Christian will overcome his or her own ungodly desires and win the battle over the sinful nature (Galatians 5:16).
