Just a Little Bit of Legalism Ruins Faith | Galatians 5:9 | Guided Bible Meditation

Short and to the point. The meditation on a little bit of leaven ruining the whole lump is referring to how just a tiny bit of legalism can ruin a whole entire group of believers. Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

God Isn't Calling You to be Legalistic | Galatians 5:8 | Guided Bible Meditation

Meditation on God's mind toward legalism. He created the law so that we might see HIM for who he is and who we are not. Our ways are not his ways, our thoughts are not his thoughts. That's why he sent Jesus to fulfill the law. He is not asking us to live perfectly, he's inviting us into relationship with Him. Legalism prevents us from experiencing the goodness of God and actually has the opposite effect and we end up being worse than the world. God hates hypocrisy. Legalism is the epitome of hypocrisy. Galatians 5:8 This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

Why Are You Still Not Listening | Galatians 5:7 | Guided Bible Meditation

Meditation on those that Paul is writing to who have completely ignored the gospel and instead pursued a works based faith that only leads to destruction and enslavement to an impossible standard. Galatians 5:7 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

BEWARE Your Religious Station | Galatians 5:6 | Guided Bible Meditation

Meditation on how the only right standing we have is through the blood of Jesus Christ. You can be a part of the right church, you can have the right credentials, you can even have the right theology, but without Christ they amount to nothing. Likewise, our status of being in the wrong club, having the wrong credentials, and having wrong theology means nothing. It's Christ or nothing. Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

The Holy Spirit give us HOPE | Galatians 5:5 | Guided Bible Meditation

Meditation on how the Spirit is our only hope at righteousness. Without God working in our inner being, we are doomed to repeat our sins over and over again without repentance. Galatians 5:5 For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
