Daily Devotion: Galatians 1:6 & 10

Galatians 1:6    "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel"

Galatians 1:10   "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ."

Who called you into the grace of Christ? Jesus gave Himself for our sins "according to the will of the Father." Isaiah prophesied seven hundred years prior to the event, "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin..." (Isaiah 53:10) It was the will of the Father according to His pleasure to make His Son to be the offering for your sin and mine. 

It was His will, His pleasure, His accomplishment, and His calling to bring us to the knowledge of the work of Christ on the cross. It was by His grace and mercy. So why would anyone want to move away from that liberty once it has been revealed? The entire book of Galatians will present the truth as to why we are to cling to the truth of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.  Let us prayerfully and sincerely seek the blessings of our Lord that we will understand and not be moved away from the Grace of Christ.

It's always nice and sweet when Devotions make us feel good about ourselves. But sometimes the Word of God causes me to become uncomfortable. Today's verses bring me to that place. It would be so very easy for me to look at the contrast between what was happening to Jesus and what was happening with Peter. It would be very comfortable for me to sit here this morning and condemn Peter for standing outside by the fire while Jesus was inside being mocked, spat upon, and struck by the servants of the high priest. It would be easy for me to sit here and say, "...
