So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
Did you ever find that upon reading a passage, one that you have read many times before with a rather, "Oh, that's nice and pass on to the next verse" reaction? I know I have in the past read this verse and not been as startled as I was a few minutes ago by it.
It was the realization that it is through faith in Christ that I have become a son of God. Then I had to ask myself what the phrase "through faith" meant? This has to be something more profound than a casual claim of belief before the church elders, and it is. It is a complete trust in and total reliance upon the promises of God to govern and direct ALL aspects of my life.
Got it! Now lets get started (see yesterday).
