IN GOOD COMPANY.

Today a very special reminder to the congregations of born again Christians in all walks of life. This message is from the Apostle Paul written to the Galatians. Paul said o foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, receive you the spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain? If it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministers to you the spirit, and working miracles among you, does he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? The point being here, that the gift of the Spirit is by faith not by law or works. Keep this in mind as you sit in a church pew or Sunday School class. These people are ministering to us the spirit. We owe them respect because just like us they do this by having faith in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. In today's world of churches there seem to be many who were absent from class, I'm just kidding, but once they made a profession of faith that was it. Studying the Word of God at home, or going to Sunday school class studying lessons in the Bible, with rituals. Which in effect pervert the gospel by replacing it with rituals. What I'm saying is rituals are not teaching you the personality of the Heavenly Father or His Son Jesus Christ. Some in today's church are very liberal in their teachings, some are too stern. Remember we didn't receive the Spirit of God through our rituals. But by faith and what we know have heard and have been told about Christ. If this sounds too simple, then blame the Apostle Paul in the book of Galatians and the Holy Bible. I happen to agree with it and I'm in great company. God bless have a blessed day.
