On Sunday afternoon, we looked at the opening verses of Galatians. We saw that Paul wanted his readers to be clear on the gospel, the most important news, the news that you need to believe in order to be saved. The gospel is all about Jesus, that He has saved us from sin by his death and resurrection. It is all about what Jesus has done for us, not what we do. This is the opposite of how our lives usually work. We never deserve to be saved and loved by God. We can never been good enough, religious enough, or from the right family. It is all Jesus, not us. This means that we should be often joyful and thankful rather than burdened by duty and effort. We should serve God and others as a response to Jesus, not because it is needed for God to love us. Take some time to thank God for Jesus, and consider why you serve Him.
