With my first-ever entry I thought i would share the passage I've been reflecting on lately:

Galatians Chapter 3

Verse 3
Are you foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
...

Verse 11
Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for "the righteous shall live by faith."


Personally, I find it easier to understand the concept of being SAVED by grace. But what about the rest of our life on this earth? the years that follow accepting Christ as our Savior?

It seems like the resounding answer to Paul's rhetorical question, 'Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?'....is OF COURSE NOT.

Saved by grace...now able to live every day by grace...

Realizing this fact...along with knowing how short I fall of God's holiness...has filled me with a lot of hope lately...hope to grow, hope to change and hope to be used.

My prayer today, reflecting on this, is that our community at Faith can have just that...hope.

Thank you Jesus.
