Galatians 6:17 (NKJV) ‘From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.’ Am not sure what this means except that Paul had gotten to the point that he could fully identify with Christ. Could the marks refer to the suffering of...
Galatians 6:16 (NKJV) ‘And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.’ The key to peace and mercy from God is in living the crucified life. For the man who does not live for himself because he has died with...
Galatians 6:14 (NKJV) ‘But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.’ Boasting is evil. That thing within man that keeps talking about what he has done and what he has...
Galatians 6:9-10 (NKJV) ‘And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all…’ Doing good is hard work particularly when the good you do is not being appreciated....
Galatians 6:7-8 (NKJV) ‘…for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.’ The law of sowing and harvesting is an eternal principle....

Galatians 6:3 (NKJV) ‘For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.’ Truth be told: if you think of yourself to be something, then you are really nothing. How we tend to elevate ourselves and make ourselves feel so important....
Galatians 6:2 (NKJV) ‘Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.’ The summary of the law of Christ is love and one way to show love is in helping one another. There are several ways to bear one another’s burden and here are a few. Firstly, we need...
Galatians 6:1 (NKJV) ‘Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.’ If I see or hear of any brother falling into any kind of sin, I must never...
Galatians 5:24 (NKJV) ‘And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.’ The scripture above used to baffle me because the tense used is in the past. The work against the flesh was done in the past. For those who belong to Christ, the...
