highlighted Ephesians 1:13 NLT

Joan
highlighted 2 Corinthians 12:7-8 NLT
even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away.

Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:25 NLT
And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.

Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:24 NLT
Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith.

Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:23 NLT
Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed.

Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:22 NLT
But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.

Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:19 NLT
Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.

Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:16 NLT
God gave the promises to Abraham and his child. And notice that the Scripture doesn’t say “to his children,” as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says “to his child”—and that, of course, means Christ.

Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:13-14 NLT
But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.

Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:12 NLT
This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”
Oct 9
Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:11 NLT
So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
Oct 9
Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:9 NLT
So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.

Joan
highlighted Galatians 3:27-28 NLT
And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
