Book of Galatians
Day 31
READ Galatians 5:7-12
You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
COMMENTARY:
In these verses, Paul expresses his concern for the Galatians, who were being influenced by false teachings. He warns them against being swayed by those who distort the truth of the gospel. Paul emphasizes the seriousness of the situation, urging the Galatians to confront and rebuke those who are leading them astray.
Questions to ponder:
- Reflect on those who lead others astray. How can you stand up for the truth in your community?
- Take some time to pray and ask God to give you wisdom and discernment to recognize and confront false teachings.
