Galatians 6:16 NKJV

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

Galatians 6:16 NKJV

Paul warned and encouraged believers not to fall into the trap of a religious spirit that loves to operate in the flesh so that they can boast about their own righteousness.

Paul once again emphasised to keep our focus on Christ, cultivate what Christ has deposited in us, and live life led by the Holy Spirit.

Paul said that if we walk by this rule, it means to keep ourselves in the central message of the gospel that salvation is received by faith in Christ alone.

It means to anchor our lives in Christ and believe that all Christ has done has become our foundation on which we build our lives.

When we walk by this rule, we will walk in the very peace that surpasses all understanding. It means no calamity will shake or bother us anymore.

We can live in confidence in the safety of God's mercy. For we are saved in His mercy while we were still a sinner and now we are blessed to continue in the mercy that shapes our entire being to shine for Him.

This rule keeps us in line with what Christ has done for us and helps us to become the person God has intended for us.

We must be vigilant not to entertain religious rituals but learn to walk in a relationship with Jesus. Not ritualistic but conscious of His presence all the days of our lives.

Let us all walk by this rule, live in the powerful grace and love of our Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
