Defining moments

Galatians 6:12-13 Have you thought about your defining moments? The day you were baptized, the day you were married, the day... Well Paul is helping folks wrestle with their defining moments in faith. As gentiles the folks aren’t circumcised so the Jewish Christians are saying to be circumcised is a defining moment for the gentiles but Paul says think again. It’s a flesh thing not a spiritual thing. He also says if you subscribe to the law you have to obey it all and no one is doing this...so he says step out in faith. This gives us the opportunity to obey the next little thing God tells us to do.

Learn

Galatians 6:11 I find it interesting as Paul is trying to teach a new way of life that he interrupts his teaching to share with his audience what he’s been learning...hand writing. It’s also interesting that he’s learning later on in life. May we always be teachable.

Take care of others

Galatians 6:10 It’s interesting to note here we’re to especially take care of those who belong to the family of believers

Don’t quit

Galatians 6:8-9 A harvest is not instant but if you continue to sow by the Spirit you will see the harvest.

Monitor yourself

Galatians 6:3-5 It’s important to not think more (or less) highly of yourself but test your actions and be proud of them without  comparing to another person. This is because we’re each responsible for our own load.
