Life Lesson (Galatians 4:9)

When we trade grace for the law, we are giving up power and purpose, for the weak and useless.

Life Lesson (Galatians 4:9)

You should be thankful to God.

Life Lesson (Galatians 4:9)

You need to keep being thankful, maintaining an 'attitude of gratitude' to God.

Life Lesson (Galatians 4:10)

IF you understand you have been given God's amazing grace, you will not keep trying to earn it and instead will begin to build Gods kingdom.

Life Lesson (Galatians 4:10)

We cannot give up the power of the Gospel for the weakness of the law, to trade our performance for God's willingness to forgive.

Life Lesson (Galatians 4:10)

The legalistic spirit (trying to earn Gods favor) caters to the flesh, leads to pride and trades an inner assurance with an outer performance.

Life Lesson (Galatians 4:11)

God has given you the ministry of reconciliation or helping man and God to have a friendly relationship. God wants you to be fruitful and multiply. God wants you to walk in spiritual blessings and eternal rewards.

Life Lesson (Galatians 4:15)

We all have some weakness in serving God. That is not an excuse not to serve God but a chance for God to show himself strong on your behalf.

8 Before you Gentiles knew God, you were slaves to so-called gods that do not even exist. 9 So now that you know God (or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world?

because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

21 Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools.

24 "Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.  25 When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open for us,' and He will answer and say to you, 'I do not know you, where you are from,'  26 then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.'  27 But He will say, 'I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.'

21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'  23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.  32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.  33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.  34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;  36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?  38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?  39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'  40 And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' 41 "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:  42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;  43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.' 44 "Then they also will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?'  45 Then He will answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'  46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing.

I fear for you that my work among you has been wasted!

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

28 Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply,

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply;

Then God spoke to Noah, saying,

be fruitful and multiply on the earth."

So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

And as for you, be fruitful and multiply;
Bring forth abundantly in the earth
And multiply in it."
