ISRAEL OF GOD / GALATIANS 6:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 6:16

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

ISRAEL OF GOD / GALATIANS 6:16

This term refers to all God’s people under the new covenant (God’s plan of spiritual salvation and a renewed relationship with people through the life and sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ). This includes both Jews and Gentiles (people of all nations who are not Israelite or Jewish) who are true followers of Christ. All people who through faith in “the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” are crucified to the world (Galatians 6:14) and have become a “new creation” (Galatians 6:15) are part of the true “Israel of God” (Romans 2:28-29; 9:7-8; Ephesians 2:14-22; Philippians 3:3; 1 Peter 2:9).

THE WORLD HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED TO ME / GALATIANS 6:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 6:14

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

THE WORLD HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED TO ME / GALATIANS 6:14

Though the cross is a popular symbol in the world, most people are not truly willing to identify with the suffering or the sacrifice of the Savior that it represents. The cross of Christ, representing the horrible death that Jesus suffered for our eternal salvation (Matthew 27:35; Mark 8:34), has actually set a dividing line between true Christians and the rest of the world. Identifying with Christ sets us apart from “the world” that is offended by and opposed to God, His purposes and His standard of truth (Galatians 4:3; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3:19; 1 John 2:15-17).

  1. For those who boldly identify with Christ – who are willing to share in His sufferings (Romans 8:17; 2 Corinthians 1:7) and who base their lives on the truth of His message – the world loses its appeal. They no longer love and follow the world’s accepted standards, values, opinion, honors and lifestyles. 
  2. For us to be “crucified with Christ” (Galatians 2:20) includes being crucified to the world (dying to its desires, being freed from its control, becoming unresponsive to its influences). There is no sharing in the salvation and glory of Christ’s cross without turning our backs on all the earthly pleasures that draw our hearts away from Him, His presence and His purposes (Mark 8:34).

GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED / GALATIANS 6:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 6:7

 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED / GALATIANS 6:7

Those who claim to be a part of the family of God (to be born again, John 3:3-7) and filled with His Spirit but show the fruit of ungodliness (the sinful nature, Galatians 5:19-21), are fooling themselves. They are showing disrespect for God. We must not allow ourselves to be deceived in this way. God’s Word is very clear about this fact: such persons will not receive “eternal life.” Instead, their reward will be “destruction” (Galatians 6:8) and “death” (Romans 6:20-23; 1 Corinthians 6:9).

SHARE ALL GOOD THINGS / GALATIANS 6:6-10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 6:6-10

SHARE ALL GOOD THINGS / GALATIANS 6:6-10

It is our spiritual duty to help provide financial and material support for those from whom we receive ministry and instruction (1 Corinthians 9:14; 1 Timothy 5:18). Those who are worthy of support include faithful pastors, workers, teachers, evangelists and missionaries (1 Corinthians 9:14; 3 John 1:6-8). To refuse to give support, if the means and opportunity are available, is to “sow” (plant) selfishness and “reap” (harvest) destruction (Galatians 6:7-9). To give to those who serve in the ministry of the Word is a part of doing good “to those who belong to the family of believers” (Galatians 6:10). If we are faithful in our support of ministry and in our opportunities to serve and do good to others for the sake of Christ, “at the proper time we will reap” (Galatians 6:9) both reward (Matthew 10:41-42) and eternal life (Galatians 6:8).

CARRY EACH OTHER’S BURDENS / GALATIANS 6:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 6:2

Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

CARRY EACH OTHER’S BURDENS / GALATIANS 6:2

To carry each other’s burdens (concerns, problems, difficult responsibilities) includes helping people in times of sickness, sorrow and financial stress. It involves praying earnestly for people as well as helping to meet their needs in tangible, practical ways. Paul may have in mind the support of missionaries and teachers (Galatians 6:6; Romans 15:1; 1 Corinthians 9:14). To carry another’s burden is a godly quality (Psalms 55:22; 1 Peter 5:7).

RESTORE HIM GENTLY / GALATIANS 6:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 6:1

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

RESTORE HIM GENTLY / GALATIANS 6:1

The word “restore” (Greek katartizo) is used in the New Testament for mending fishing nets (Matthew 4:21), but in reference to people it means developing and perfecting human character (2 Corinthians 13:11). With this in mind, Christians must help wayward believers to mend and heal spiritually by guiding them in their desire and efforts to turn from their own defiant ways, to surrender to Christ’s control and to renew their full devotion to Jesus Christ. This may involve disciplinary action (Matthew 13:30), which should be done humbly and firmly, but “gently.”

Paul here is not thinking of the serious sins and open and unashamed moral violations that bring public disgrace to Christ and the congregation (1 Corinthians 5:5). Such sins may require temporary exclusion from the church before restoration is granted (1 Corinthians 5:11).

DO NOT USE YOUR FREEDOM TO INDULGE / GALATIANS 5:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 5:13

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

DO NOT USE YOUR FREEDOM TO INDULGE / GALATIANS 5:13

While Christ sets His followers free from the system of religion that depends only on obedience to certain rules (with no response from the heart), Christians are still accountable to follow Christ’s commands and the moral standards and principles of God’s laws (Romans 8:4). This means that individual Christians must never use their freedom to satisfy sinful desires or practice questionable behaviors. In addition, they must not be selfishly proud about their freedom so that they find excuse to offend other sincere believers or mislead those who may be looking to them for a godly example (Romans 6:17; 13:10; 14:17; 1 Corinthians 8 – 9).

KEPT YOU FROM OBEYING THE TRUTH / GALATIANS 5:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 5:7

Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

KEPT YOU FROM OBEYING THE TRUTH / GALATIANS 5:7

False teaching in the church usually takes one of two forms. Either it denies the foundational truths of the Christian faith (Galatians 1:9), or it claims that something in addition to what is found in the New Testament is required for a believer to be a complete Christian (Galatians 1:6-7; Galatians 2:15-16; Galatians 5:2; Galatians 5:6).

  1. All Christian teaching must be evaluated by how it measures up to and conforms to the original message of Christ and the apostles (Acts 14:4) as found in the New Testament (Galatians 1:11-12; 2:1-2, 7-9; Ephesians 2:20). We must ask: Does a teaching contain less than the Biblical message (is something missing)? Does it claim to support Biblical truth, yet add something unbiblical to the original message?
  2. We must never evaluate or accept teaching based only on feelings, experience, results, miracles or by what other people are saying. The New Testament is the highest standard for truth.
  3. We must beware of any teaching that says God’s Word as revealed in the Bible is no longer sufficient and that the church needs additional revelation based on modern scholarship, science, philosophy, psychology or new spiritual insight in order to reach its full potential. Only Biblical truth can bring true salvation and spiritual maturity.

FAITH EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE / GALATIANS 5:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 5:6

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

FAITH EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE / GALATIANS 5:6

The Bible declares that a person is saved through faith (Galatians 2:15-16; Romans 3:22; Ephesians 2:8-9). 

  1. In this passage, Paul defines the exact nature of that faith. Saving faith is a living faith in a living Savior. It is not just an intellectual belief, but an active trust that surrenders control of one’s life to Christ’s leadership and continues to follow Him in obedience. It is so alive that it cannot avoid expressing itself in love-motivated actions. 
  2. Faith that does not truly love and obey Christ (1 John 2:3; 1 John 5:3), show a real concern for the work of God’s kingdom (Matthew 12:28) and actively resist sin and worldly influence (Galatians 5:16-17) is not saving faith (James 2:14-16).

FALLEN AWAY FROM GRACE / GALATIANS 5:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Galatians 5:4

 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

FALLEN AWAY FROM GRACE / GALATIANS 5:4

Some Galatians had shifted the focus of their faith from Christ to legalistic standards and rule keeping based loosely on God’s law and other traditions (Galatians 1:6-7; Galatians 5:3). For this reason, they “have been alienated from Christ” and “have fallen away from grace.” This means that they have cut themselves off from a personal relationship with Jesus (John 15:4-6) and abandoned the principle of God’s grace (His unearned favor and love), which is the only thing that can bring true life and spiritual salvation (2 Peter 2:15, 20-22). For Christians, following the moral standards and principles of God’s laws and commands should be something they do out of love and gratitude to Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. What makes keeping the law useless and wrong, however, is when people use it in an attempt to earn spiritual salvation or gain God’s favor. Only by faith in Christ can a person enter and maintain a right relationship with God (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5).
