Do you ever feel stuck in a sin or habit you just can’t seem to break free from? Do you ever wonder if God really loves you even though you still struggle? 

You’re not alone. In Paul’s letter to the Galatians, He reminds them, and us, that we don’t have to earn God’s approval because we already have it through Jesus. We have a relationship with God not through our own good actions or intentions, but through His grace. A relationship with Jesus is not about following a list of rules; it’s about following Him.

It’s not our own efforts to defeat sin that give us a relationship with Jesus. It’s our relationship with Jesus that gives us the power to defeat sin. Because Jesus frees us from our sin, we can move past our selfishness and serve others. The Holy Spirit changes us, so we can show love to others.
