Comments on Galatians with an ear to Luther’s commentary

Scripture Text: Galatians 2:7-8 and John 14:1-13

Series: Comments on Galatians

Today's Scripture Jigsaw

One of the great problems facing the Church in these latter days is that we do not believe as Luther did. He believed that the very same power as worked in Peter and Paul and even Jesus was at work in Martin (John 14:12). If that is true — and it is — then that same Holy Spirit power is at work in you. The difference between you and Paul is job description. Whatever vocation God has appointed for you, the same power of God’s Spirit attends you.

The ability to move forward in God’s power rests in the authority of the one who calls you in the grace of Christ. Do you really believe what Scripture tells you? Imagine the police officer who is sworn in and given a badge and gun but when confronted by the criminal element, does not really believe in the power he has been given. This is the state of the typical churchgoer today. It is time to stop being an attendee and start being a participant in the powerful work of God. Get out of the pews and into the game!
