DAD'S DAILY BREAD

10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us_ Gal 3:10–13

God gave us His law to show us how to be obedient to Him. For an example of how we should live. But He never says that if we follow it completely that it will result in us being saved and accepted by Him. So in that the law becomes a curse because it is impossible for us to follow it perfectly. And even more if we strive to follow it perfectly just so we can say we are deserving of His acceptance it creates feelings in our hearts that don’t include surrender or trusting in Him or faith in Christ. So therefore that is a curse as well because it makes it all about us. So that is what makes this verse and all of this book to the Galatians such great news! Christ came and became the curse for us and said that all we have to do is accept that free gift with faith. Over and over the Galatians are adding things to the Gospel so that they can boast in their flesh. But over and over the Bible tells us about how wicked our flesh truly is so anything you do will always result in failure. All we have to do is believe! And it does not include believing in ourselves but surrendering to the one who can actually keep a perfect law and can actually save us from our wicked flesh.

Christ became the curse for us and He saved us from ourselves! Once you learn the truth and accept and feel the love that God gives to us, that’s when the real change begins. Once I realized just how undeserving I am and I felt the sacrifice God made for me it pushed me straight into His Word. That’s where you get to know Him and you start to see His plan. I began to feel His love and from that an urgency grows to want to be better. But it doesn’t come from me wanting to boast about myself but to do it for the one who saved me! He saved me when I was His enemy. Living a life completely for myself. I deserve eternity in Hell. Anything other than that is grace and mercy. Two things that are simply unexplained. A love like that cannot be measured! And it’s because of that love that I choose to stay glued to the Bible as it exposes the things in my life that I need to change. May the Lord complete His work in me! Because of what He has done I am saved and secured into His family. What a joy and a blessing that truly is. I want to spread that love to everyone I know by telling them about the Gospel so they can meet Jesus the same way I did. Lord may you grant me more and more faith everyday, Give me the courage and the boldness to tell others about you. Don’t make it about me ever again!

APPLICATION:

Read the Bible, Apply it to my life. Use it to guide my thinking and my actions. If I mess up confess it as soon as possible. Don’t let any darkness grow In my heart. Stay humble at all times. It is all about bringing Him honor and glory and no longer about me! Talk about Jesus at work. Have courage and don’t let fear control any part of my life. Pray Pray Pray! Thank You for everything Lord! I am so undeserving of your love! Thank you for not leaving it up to me and saving me when I didn’t deserve it! May I always remember that You are God and i am not!

IN HIS NAME!
