Jesus is Alive (1 John 1)
“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2 The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared…

Thankful for the cross (Galatians 6)
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. (Galatians 6: 14-15) The meaning of boasting is defined by Wikipedia as an act of talking with excessive pride and…

Life by the Spirit (Galatians 5)
In the fifth chapter of the book of Galatians, Paul keeps on reminding the Galatians that they have been saved and do not need to live by the yoke of slavery anymore (Galatians 5:1). The Galatians used to follow Christ but other teachings made them obey other rules and they found themselves far from Jesus…

We are heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven (Galatians 4)
In this chapter, Paul continues to urge the Galatians to return to God, to the true gospel. Paul’s primary goal is the restoration of his children in the faith. He keeps reminding them that they have been freed from all the rules and regulations that existed before Christ because as he says in Galatians 4:8-10;…

The Righteous Will Live By Faith (Galatians 3)
In chapter three of the book of Galatians, Paul is talking to the Galatians reminding them that they received the Spirit by believing what they heard and not by the works of the law (Galatians 3:2). I believe this is due to the fact that they were pursuing things that were keeping them away from…

Are You Bold Enough To Stand Up For Your Faith? (Galatians 2)
I felt like today’s devotional’s title should be a question because I have been asking myself this same question. Am I bold enough to stand up for my faith? I know I love God and I am so grateful that He made himself known to me; I honestly don’t know if I would still be…

No other gospel (Galatians 1)
The book of Galatians is another letter written by Paul. Paul was previously called Saul and he was one of the most important figures of the Apostolic age as he founded several churches in Asia and Europe and contributed a lot in spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ. The book of Galatians was written to…

The Peace of God (Philippians 4)
Today, we will talk about Philippians chapter 4, which is the last chapter of the letter written to the church of Philippi by Paul while he was in prison. Overall, the chapter spoke to me about the peace of God. Let’s start with the first verse which is: “Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom…

Rejoice in the Lord (Philippians 3)
In this chapter, Paul exhorts the believers of Philippi to not put their confidence in their flesh but in Jesus Christ. Paul was not always an apostle, his name was Saul and he used to brutally persecute the church before being changed by Jesus (Acts 9). However, after being called by the Lord, He got…

Love and faith in Jesus Christ (Philippians 1)
Today I started reading the book of Philippians which is a letter written by Paul to the believers in Philippi. When Paul was writing that letter he was in prison but one can see that his love and faith in Jesus were never affected by Paul’s circumstances. Paul was even rejoicing in the partnership of…
