King James Version

What does Galatians 6:16 mean? →

Passage Context

14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Devotional Reflection

Paul ends his remarkable letter to the Galatians with this profound reminder: both Jews and Gentiles who are saved by believing in Jesus Christ are God's people, His Israel. Like Abraham, who embarked on a long journey because he believed God's promise, all spiritual Israelites follow God's instructions and hold on to God's promise by having faith in Jesus Christ. Just as those who were set free from slavery to sin and death during the Exodus by God's power and the blood of the Passover lamb, God's people today have been bought with blood and set free from sin and death. Here, there are no Jews, no Gentiles, no slaves, and no free men or women, because we are all God's people and enjoy His mercy and peace.

Prayer

El Shaddai, LORD of the Covenant, thank you for our great Patriarchs of Faith who kept the faith and believed in your promise. Thank you for doing what you said you would do in Jesus. Thank you for making me one of your children and blessing me. Now, let us, your people, praise you. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
