Galatians 3:6-10 – put your trust in Christ

Don’t these things happen among you just as they happened with Abraham? He believed God, and that act of belief was turned into a life that was right with God. Is it not obvious to you that persons who put their trust in Christ (not persons who put their trust in the law!) are like Abraham: children of faith? It was all laid out beforehand in Scripture that God would set things right with non-Jews by faith. Scripture anticipated this in the promise to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed in you.” So those now who live by faith are blessed along with Abraham, who lived by faith—this is no new doctrine! And that means that anyone who tries to live by his own effort, independent of God, is doomed to failure. Scripture backs this up: “Utterly cursed is every person who fails to carry out every detail written in the Book of the law.” -Galatians 3:6-10 [MSG]

Just some simple things I got today from this verse. Trusting God fully means that you are living by faith, and by that you will be blessed like Abraham, but living with your own strength brings to failure. I think no one wants a failure. So let’s put God first in every aspect of our life, trust Him fully in anything, always live by His guidance, and all the blessings will follow after.

TRUST GOD -> BLESSING
TRUST YOURSELF -> FAILURE
