You don’t have to wonder whether God will keep His word. He already has. And He still does. He will always keep His Promises.
This is the heart of the gospel: God made a promise, and that promise is fulfilled in Jesus. When God spoke to Abraham about blessing all nations through his Seed, He wasn’t referring to a people group. He was pointing to a person, Jesus. The whole message of Galatians 3 rests on this truth: The promise didn’t come through the law; it came through grace, and it was always meant to be received by faith.
The Galatian believers forgot that. Somewhere along the way, they were told that Jesus wasn’t enough. That grace wasn’t enough. That faith wasn’t enough. They were being pressured to do more, to be better, to add something extra to the gospel they had already received.
And we fall into the same trap, don’t we?
We start well, trusting in what Jesus has done, but then the opinions creep in. Some of them are from the outside, but most of them are from within. “You’re not doing enough.” “Are you even saved?” “You better prove it.”
But listen—you don’t need to prove anything. You don’t need to earn what God has already given. You don’t need to go backward and try to live under the pressure of performance.
Ephesians 1:6 (NKJV) “to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.”
You’re not working for your salvation, you’re living from it.
Just like a child doesn’t have to prove they belong in the family, you don’t have to prove you belong to God. You do belong. By faith. Because He said so. Because His Word is trustworthy. Because His promises are sealed in Christ.
Don’t go back to bondage. You are free!
Don’t get caught up in measuring your life by how many “spiritual things” you’re checking off. Instead, enjoy the freedom that comes with being His. Get up each day and walk in that grace. Respond to His love. Stay rooted in the Word, not to earn His favor, but because you already have it.
