Galatians 3: 1- 3

1.O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith? 3. Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?

Two ideas are feeding the minds of people in the modern church today, thus shaping a false spiritual identity.

In the United States, there is an “Abrahamic, Davidic mentality, with undertones of the Mosaic Law, shouting. “GIVE US A KING!

The other idea is more global: The Bible must not be interpreted literally. “Inclusion is how to win more souls and grow your church. This is the “Progressive” church of today.

Question: Does one receive a New Birth Spiritual identity as a result of “reading the Bible and keeping God’s commandments given to Israel, or is the more progressive idea of “inclusion” the way “OR” is it from the Spirit of God? You’d be surprised at the many responses to this question.

As we continue in Galatians, we will take a look at how outside influences and ideas can stray people away from the Absolute Truth of the Gospel, and who they are as Spiritual Sons to the Father!
