Text: Galatians 6:12-15
We sometimes make our salvation very difficult for ourselves with rules and regulations. We try to add things on to the work of the cross. Once that happens, it becomes a burden. . .especially for new christians. They feel like they’re never going to be able to do it. . .too many dos and don’ts. We have to allow the Holy Spirit to do His work. We need to be careful with new converts. We can and should disciple them, but leave the cleaning to the Holy Spirit. We were never meant to live our lives with a bunch of dos and don’ts told to us by people. We are to be Spirit lead. When we have a relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit starts working in our hearts. That’s when we start changing and stop doing the things that are ungodly. We can never do this on our own. We need the help of the Holy Spirit. There is nothing that we can do to put us in right standing with God. We need to put our trust in the Lord. Let’s take our eyes off of ourselves and glorify God and God alone!
