Pastor's Note: O Foolish Galatians
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only I would learn of you, received ye the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain? If it be yet in vain, He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith? Galatians 3:1-5
In reading the above scripture verse, my mind is drawn to Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Everything that begins with God, begins by faith, which has been imparted by the Spirit. Paul having been the Pharisee of Pharisees was well educated in the Law. But, how many people were converted, or how many miracles had he performed under the Law. I would venture to say, none. It wasn't until he was born again, and filled with the Spirit that he ministered the Spirit,where it is certain that many came to Christ, and miracles were wrought. So then, why do we, who began in the Spirit when we were first saved,and succumb to the Law? We clearly see,there is no power in the Law, but there is great power in the Holy Spirit! If we like Paul relied on the Holy Spirit, I wonder how many more conversions we would see? I wonder how many more miracles would be had? Perhaps, many are frustrated in their walk with Christ because they are serving Him by the flesh, or as Paul said by the works of Law, instead of being guided to the Spirit. I have found that when people finally come to the end of themselves, completely giving up, that's when the Spirit works through us. We will never accomplish in the Law or the flesh, what God has designed to be performed by the Spirit. Let us learn by the mistakes of the Galatians.

Scripture Verse: For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; for it is the power of God unto
salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, the just shall live by faith. Romans 1:16-17
