Stand firm therefore in the freedom with which Christ has freed us, and do not place yourselves again under the yoke of servitude.

Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

  And again I protest to every man, who allows himself to be circumcised, that he is obliged to keep the whole law.

You are separated from Christ, you who are justified by the law; from grace you have fallen.

For we by the Spirit of faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value; but rather faith that works through love.

You ran well; Who prevented you from obeying the truth?

This persuasion does not come from the one who called you.

A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

I trust in you, in the Lord, that you will feel nothing else; but whoever troubles you, whoever he may be, will suffer condemnation.

But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I persecuted? Soon the scandal of the cross is annihilated.

I would like those who are bothering you to be cut off.

  Because you, brothers, were called to freedom. Therefore, do not use your freedom to give occasion to the flesh, but serve one another through love.

  For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you do not consume one another either.

But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these oppose one another, so that you do not do what you want.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

  For the works of the flesh are manifest, which are: adultery, fornication, impurity, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, emulations, wraths, fights, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, gluttony, and the like. these, concerning which I declare to you, as I told you before, that those who commit such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:1-23.

“Draw closer to God, and he will draw closer to you!” 🙏🏻 James 4:8

 

PSALM 23:

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 It makes me lie down in green pastures; Guide me gently to still waters.

3 Refresh my soul; Lead me in the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

4 Even if I walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I would fear no evil, because you are with me; Your rod and your staff comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Our Lord resembles a shepherd and of course we are his sheep. A shepherd is one who watches over his sheep, providing everything they need. And so is the Lord towards us, God provides everything we need, everything necessary to keep the soul at peace. When it comes to our needs, both spiritual and earthly, the Lord himself is our provision for the entire journey. God lovingly cares for his sheep, providing them and satisfying their needs, so they can rest under His protection. God, as a good shepherd, will be by our side to protect us, preventing us from falling into an abyss. He provides, makes us rest, protects us, anoints us with oil and gives us frequent reasons for joy and overflows our cup of blessings. Your goodness and mercy will follow us every day and will lead us to live with you forever.

Thank you Lord for being a good shepherd, for your unconditional love and care for us. He continues to bless us, walk with us, guide our steps, illuminate our path and our choices and may the end be just the beginning of what is to come, the eternal home.

🙏🙏🙌

 

Law of Moses and Christ

1. The laws of Moses were given to the people of Israel as a guide to living a righteous and holy life. They were created to help people relate to God and others in a way that honors his will.

2. The laws of Moses were also intended to protect the people of Israel from physical and spiritual harm. They were created to keep the people safe and to help them live in peace with each other.

3. Jesus Christ came to fulfill the laws of Moses. He taught that laws were important, but that they were not enough to save people from sin. He said people needed to repent of their sins and trust Him for salvation.

4. Jesus also taught that the laws of Moses were a foreshadowing of a new covenant that He would establish. This new covenant would be based on love and grace, not law.

5. The laws of Moses are still important to Christians today. They teach us about the nature of God and what is right and wrong. They also help us relate to God and others in a way that honors Him.

6. However, Christians are not saved by works of the law. They are saved by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ.

7. The laws of Moses are a reminder that we are sinners and that we need God's grace to be saved. They also teach us about the path of righteousness and help us live a life that pleases God.

8. If you are a Christian, you must obey the laws of Moses. However, you should not rely on laws for your salvation. Your salvation comes only by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ.

9. The laws of Moses are God's gift to us. They teach us about his character and what is right and wrong. They also help us live a life that honors Him.

10. If you are looking for a way to live a life that pleases God, then you must obey the laws of Moses. However, you should not rely on laws for your salvation. Your salvation comes only by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ.

 

In John 10:11, Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." This means that Jesus is the one who guides us, protects us and loves us unconditionally.

And he knows what's most incredible? He not only cares for us, but He also sacrificed Himself for us. He gave his life on the cross so that we could have eternal life. This is true and unmatched love.

So if you are feeling lost or discouraged, remember that Jesus is your good shepherd.

 

Jesus Christ Savior!

I am the resurrection and the life, whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?

John 11:25-26

Let's reflect:

But what do you mean you'll never die?

Jesus came as a man and died to give us salvation from sin and eternal life. The death of those who were forgiven through Jesus' sacrifice, of those who believe and seek him, allows entry into paradise.

Philippians 1:21

Because for me, living is Christ and dying is profit.

The death of those who are in Christ Jesus is not the definitive death, but rather the beginning of an eternal life alongside our Creator.

Lord, bless our lives. Our thinking, speaking and acting.

May we live in the certainty that everything we do here, good or bad, has a consequence.

May we know how to live in harmony and always obey the Lord, following his teachings and his ways.

So that, through Christ Jesus, we can reach Paradise.
