Reading: Galatian 5 and Deuteronomy 31-32
Scripture: Galatians 5:3, I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law.
Observation: When reading this and thinking about if we get circumcised here we no longer look at it as a covenant but just as a medical procedure to help keep things clean. But as Christians we many times though traditions we develop our own laws or rules to judge ourselves by.
Application: Being that circumcision to the Jew was a covenant between them and God saying they would uphold the Jewish law, Paul was reminding the Galatians Christ does not require circumcision. Nether should we place rules and regulations on getting to heave. Christ came to die for us once and for all, not to take one yolk and replace it with another.
Prayer: Father I thank you that you gave your son so that we could come into your presence. Your love is so great that I cant hardly stand and be in awe. Lord I ask that you help us to develop our relationship with you and let the traditions that can cause us to do things that are not in your word.
