Words of Encouragement
Galatians 3:8-9 & 14
8 What's more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would accept the Gentiles, too, on the basis of their faith. God promised this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, "All nations will be blessed through you." 9 And so it is: All who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
14 Through the work of Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, and we Christians receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith. (NLT)
It is wonderful that God accepts us into His family. We are His children. It is by faith that we enter into God’s family just as Abraham believed God by faith and entered in. We, like Abraham, share in the blessings of God through faith in Christ. We receive the promised Holy Spirit when we believe by faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is He who made the way, it is He who sends the blessing to us, it is He who sent the Holy Spirit and it is because of what He did on the cross that we are partakers in the inheritance.
Oh what a wonderful Savior.
