S-Galatians 6:15-16

A-God's gift of freedom through Christ

L-What Really Counts

"It doesn't make any difference now whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we really have been changed into new and different people. May God's mercy and peace be upon all those who live by this principle. They are the new people of God." Galatians 6:15-16

It's not what you do on the outside. The circumcision, yes it was big before Christ, but now, on this side of the Cross, it's whats takes place on the inside.

To Change is to transform. It's to take all that is twisted, sick, sinful, and ugly, and place it in the hands of Christ. Who then fills you with the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit then comes in and cleans house. He takes all the twisted, sick, sinful, and ugly and transforms it into Christ-likeness.

The more you allow Him to lead, to guide, to clean, the more and more change happens. And the more change that is made on the inside, the more it will begin to show on the outside.

"What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!" 2 Corinthians 5:17

S-Tell others why it's important for change to take place on the inside.
