4.7.23 - Galatians 3:24-26
How is your day different if you believe yourself loved regardless of the experiences you've had or what transpires today?
Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be reckoned as righteous by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.
This is such a great passage on the purpose of the law and how it has nothing to do with access to the Creator.
The law allowed folks to gauge how close they were to Goodness because the law told them what was good. And if one could be closer to Goodness, that meant they might, at other times, be farther from Goodness.
Christ granted freedom from that system so there's no need to approximate your distance from Goodness because access to that Goodness isn't restricted. It's freely given and continuous.
You can't earn access to the Divine no matter how hard you try. You also can't lose that access, no matter how hard you fail.
How is your day different if you believe yourself loved regardless of the experiences you've had or what transpires today?
