Journey, an update 8-2-07

“But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.” Galatians 3:22

While we were at camp I wrapped up my personal study in 2 Corinthians and moved on to Galatians. This morning when I read this verse it seemed to summarize a lot of what I had been thinking on and teaching at camp.

We had a wonderful camp, emphasizing daily in our Bible reading times that we come to God through faith and belief and that He can set us free from the bondage of sin. Praise God that it is not our own efforts that bring us to God. We believe and He gives. What a beautiful message. I was encouraged again as I presented this message every day and felt the truth of it reaffirmed in my heart.
