The Shadow of the Cross The Shadow of the Cross Galatians 6:11-18
Look at the large letters Im making with my own handwriting!Whoever wants to look good by human standards will try to get you to be circumcised, but only so they won t be harassed for the cross of Christ. Those who are circumcised don t observe the Law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised, so they can boast about your physical body. But as for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except for the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through him, and I have been crucified to the world.
Being circumcised or not being circumcised doesnt mean anything. What matters is a new creation. May peace and mercy be on whoever follows this rule and on God s Israel. From now on, no one should bother me because I bear the marks of Jesus on my body. Brothers and sisters, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen Galatians 6:11-18 (CEB)
The tone of the end similar to beginning No small talk or personal greetings He gets back into the fight Directly addresses the agitators as self serving Reiterates that circumcision and law observance isn t complete.
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel which is really no gospel at all. Gal 1:6-7 (NIV)
the gospel I preached isnt human in origin. I didnt receive it or learn it from a human. It came through a revelation from Jesus Christ. Gal 1:11-12 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. Gal 2:20 if we become righteous through the Law, then Christ died for no purpose. Gal 2:21 You are all God s children through faith in Christ Jesus. All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Gal 3:26-27
You are all Gods children through faith in Christ Jesus Gal 3:26 I m going through labor pains again until Christ is formed in you. Gal 4:19 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the self with its passions and its desires. Gal 5:24 Being circumcised or not being circumcised doesn t mean anything. What matters is a new creation. Gal 6:15
But as for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except for the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ
