Christ + Faith = Children of God

Galatians 3:23-29

For generations, devout Jews studied the Scriptures, followed the Mosaic law, and embraced life within those parameters. By Jesus’ time, a group of religious authorities, the Pharisees, had come to rely on a strict adherence to following not only the Mosaic law, but their own interpretations of the law as a means to salvation. They were quick to judge those who did not meticulously follow their interpretation of the Mosaic law.

Jesus, on the other hand, spoke of fulfilling the law. Through faith in Christ, we find a relationship with God in which the obedience to the law becomes natural, not a chore or a duty, but the result of faithfulness.

A true display of the kingdom of God is when people of different ages, backgrounds, races, and origins come together in unity through Christ.

With Christ, through faith, we will embrace our brothers and sisters as children of the one true God.
