Reward — “What has happened to you foolish Galatians? Who has put you under an evil spell? Did God not open your eyes to see the meaning of Jesus’ crucifixion? Was He not revealed to you as the crucified one? So answer me this: Did Holy Spirit come to you as a reward for keeping Jewish laws? No, you received Him as a gift because you believed in the Messiah. Your new life began when Holy Spirit gave you a new birth. Why then would you so foolishly turn from living in the Spirit by trying to finish by your own works? Have you endured so many trials and persecutions for nothing?” (Galatians 3 :1-4, The Passion Translation)

Not only did the Galatians fail to get the complete meaning of the cross as a gift, but the Church today still treats the cross in that same way. We end up thinking that following laws and regulations will change our lives. But the cross provides that as a gift; it’s not a reward for striving or good works. Salvation isn’t the works we do; it’s the gift Jesus left for us.

That gift has a name — Holy Spirit! Won’t you receive this gift today?

Be a Blessing,

Sir Gregory
