Devotional: Galatians 6:11-18

Today’s passage: Galatians 6:11-18

Helpful thoughts:

  • Paul confirms that those who are teaching legalism and requiring circumcision are “sowing to the flesh”.
  • People can take credit for convincing someone to be religious.  Only God can be honored for a new creation.
  • Paul specifically blesses those who have believed in Jesus Christ by faith.

Questions to consider:

  1. From the content of this letter, who is “The Israel of God”? (See Galatians 3:7-9)
  2. Would people be prone to see Paul’s scars suffered through persecution as marks of faithfulness and fullness of life, or would they likely see them as unwanted and a curse?  How did he see them?
  3. What compels you to follow Jesus?  Do not answer this from experience!  What does this passage say?  Are we following Jesus because God did a miracle or because we want something this world has to offer that is wrapped up and labeled as “Christianity”?
