READ:

Read or listen to Galatians 1:1-9.

Paul, an apostle—not from men or by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead— and all the brothers who are with me:

To the churches of Galatia.

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him! As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him!

The written Scripture is CSB, however, the audio Scripture is ESV.

FOCUS:

Why is Paul aggravated? What is his exhortation to the church in Galatia?

PRAY:

God rescues us for a purpose. Not only do we glorify him as we follow Jesus, but we also participate in his work of salvation as witnesses to his work. Ask God to increase your awareness of opportunities around you to share Christ with others.
