Don't Be Intimidated-Part 1

Study-Don't Be Intimidated

Store-"So Christ has really set us free. Now make sure that you stay free and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law." Galatians 5:1

Apply-Your True Freedom

Learn-God Has No Favorites

   "And the leaders of the church who were there had nothing to add to what I was preaching. (By the way, their reputation as great leaders made no difference to me, for God has no favorites.)" Galatians 2:6

Brethren, God has NO favorites! We are all equally important to Him. Let that be a breath of fresh air and confidence booster.

-This passage reveals a lot about Paul's character and confidence. Paul understood his role and purpose. He knew his mission, and he knew who he was IN Christ.

All to often we get caught up in intimidation and comparison, that we forget who we are IN Christ.

Therefore, we allow our insecurities to come flooding in and convince us we are useless or that we don't even match up.

But according to who? Because IN Christ there is not one greater than the other.

When you begin to doubt, compare, or feel intimidated, remember God has NO favorites. He loves you just the same and He has a specific purpose and plan just for you. Know who you are IN Christ and remember, it's your heart God examines.

Brethren, I pray as you meditate on this passage that you find yourself walking with humble confidence.

Share-with someone that God has NO favorites and then encourage them in their walk with Christ.
