The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed in Galatians; with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

In this next amazing series of books, Paul shares from here onward what it means to be in union and solidarity with the LORD GOD as a redeemed Christ-one, a Saint of GODS desire. Herein, Paul endorses the gospel of his own proclamation as a gift by revelation of the workings of GOD, the Christ in him! Herein we are using the Mirror Study Bible, with very little editing.

Galatians 1:12 "This message is not invented by a man; my source was not my formal religious education; I received it by the revelation of Jesus Christ."

Galatians 1:15-16 "GOD's eternal love dream separated me from my mother's womb; his grace became my identity (as it has yours). This is the heart of the gospel that I proclaim; it began with an unveiling of sonship in me, freeing me to announce the same sonship in the masses of non-Jewish people. I felt no immediate urgency to compare notes with those who were familiar with Christ from a mere historical point of view."

Paul contrasts the futility of the Law of works in its clumsy efforts to improve human behavior with the amazing revelation of the life of our design now redeemed in us, in Christ! He uses the words, "law," "flesh" and "works" vs. grace, "spirit" and "faith" to give reference to the dynamics of the success of the cross.

The promise is concluded in the person of Christ; unveiled in all human life!

Galatians 3:21 "No, the Law does not opposes GOD's promise; it emphasizes the desperate need for a Redeemer to release righteousness in humanity as their life; something the Law would certainly not be capable of! had it been possible for the human race to be justified by the Law, the promise would be unnecessary."

Galatians 3:22 "Scripture concludes that all humanity without exception are in the same predicament; they are imprisoned by sin. Now faith brings the promise of immediate release within everyone's view and reach! Jesus Christ makes it possible for all to believe what GOD believes concerning their righteousness and restored innocence."

Galatians 4:5 "Jesus' mandate was to rescue the human race from the regime of the Law of performance and announce the revelation of their true sonship in GOD."

Galatians 4:6 "To seal our sonship GOD had commissioned the Spirit of sonship to resonate the Abba echo in our hearts; and now, in our innermost being we recognize him as our true and very dear Father."

Galatians 5:1 "Christ defines your faith; he is our freedom from anything the Law could never free us of! Find your firm footing in this freedom. Do not let religion trip you up again and harness you to a system of rules and useless obligations!"

Galatians 5:6 "Agape sets faith in motion. (It is easy for love to believe! Agape sees and knows what the Father knows is truth in action.)

We shall begin Galatians in our next visit the LORD willing. May he richly bless and heal your understanding of him.
