Is It You? If Not then Who?

S-Who is It

S-"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

A-God's gift of Freedom through Christ

L-Who and Why

"You were getting along so well. Who has interfered with you to hold you back from following the truth? It certainly isn't God, for he is the one who called you to freedom. But it takes only one wrong person among you to infect all the others-a little yeast spreads quickly through the whole batch of dough! I am trusting the Lord to bring you back to believing as I do about these things. God will judge that person, whoever it is, who has been troubling and confusing you." Galatians 5:7-10

Are you confused and troubled? Are you struggling in your faith?

Who are you surrounding yourself with? Are they leading you closer to Christ and the freedom offered through Him, or are they leading you away, thus causing you to doubt, and be confused?

Paul makes it very clear, why we need to be wise in who we surround ourselves with and who we listen to.

Let's take this entire passage and apply it to our lives. Store it, meditate on it, and also use it as a guide for our own lives, making sure we are not the one holding others back, or leading them to confusion, doubt, and further from the Cross.

S-Spend time in prayer with the Lord. Ask Him to reveal to you areas in this passage that might apply or that should apply.
