Daily Bible Reading – May 2023, God’s Saving Word: Faith

DÍA 9 DE 31

May 9

Introduction

Paul continues his discussion of what it means to be saved by faith (see 2:15-21 from yesterday’s reading). In today’s reading, Paul argues that those who depend on obeying the Law live under a curse because no one can follow it perfectly. Jesus took the place of all people and died under a curse so that all who believe in him would be freed from the curse of the Law.

Scripture Reading

Galatians 3:1-14

Today’s Key Verse: Galatians 3:11

It is clear that no one is put right with God by means of the Law, because the scripture says, “Only the person who is put right with God through faith shall live.”

Reflect

According to Paul, who are the descendants of Abraham (verse 7)? In verses 10-13, Paul refers to Habakkuk 2:4 when he says “Only the person who is put right with God through faith shall live,” and to Deuteronomy 27:26 when he says that “Christ has redeemed us from the curse that the Law brings.” What is the blessing that such redemption brings (verse 14)?

Pray

Lord Jesus, you have redeemed me from the curse that the Law brings by becoming a curse for me. Thank you for the blessing of God’s promised Spirit and that, through faith, I have been put right with God and shall live. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Galatians 3:15—4:7: Paul discusses the purpose of the Law.
