Paul writes to the Galatians to warn them against following Jewish laws and traditions, as this would take away from their freedom in Christ and cause them to fall from grace. He encourages them to instead walk by the Spirit and follow the Spirit's leading, which will be evidenced through fruit such as love, joy, peace and self-control. Paul argues that it is faith in Christ, not adherence to religious rules and customs, that truly matters.

Matthew 6:1. Understanding righteousness correctly is only the first step, Jesus now reminds us that there are correct and incorrect ways to practice our righteousness. Righteous acts should be done to glorify God, but all to often what we really care about is that others see us doing good.

God gave the Jews circumcision as a means of setting them apart. It was part of their being called as a chosen people. Paul’s opponents are referred to elsewhere as the “circumcision party.” They were angered that Paul was not requiring the Gentile converts to receive the covenant symbol of circumcision. However, they missed God’s true intention concerning circumcision. God’s main goal was not exclusively to create a nation of people bearing a physical sign of selection. God desired that these people and the Gentiles they would reach would ultimately have circumcised hearts – hearts that were responsive to God. In essence, Paul is telling them that their backward glance focus on the old covenant is actually undercutting the very message of Jesus. Paul uses the strongest of language to rebuke this and emphasize Jesus’ true standard of saving faith, a genuine love for God and for our neighbor.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Freedom to Be the People of God
1. It is for freedom that Christ
has set us free. Stand firm,
then, and do not let yourselves
be burdened again by a yoke
of slavery.
Galatians 5:1
2.
3. Mark my words! I, Paul, tell
you that if you let yourselves
be circumcised, Christ will
be of no value to you at all.
Galatians 5:2
4. Again I declare to every man
who lets himself be
circumcised that he is
obligated to obey the whole
law.
Galatians 5:3
5. You who are trying to be
justified by the law have been
alienated from Christ; you
have fallen away from grace.
Galatians 5:4
6. For through the Spirit we
eagerly await by faith the
righteousness for which we
hope.
Galatians 5:5
7. For in Christ Jesus neither
circumcision nor uncircumcision
has any value. The only thing
that counts is faith expressing
itself through love.
Galatians 5:6
8. You were running a good
race. Who cut in on you to
keep you from obeying the
truth?
Galatians 5:7
9. That kind of persuasion does
not come from the one who
calls you.
Galatians 5:8
10. “A little yeast works through
the whole batch of dough.”
Galatians 5:9
11. I am confident in the Lord that
you will take no other view. The
one who is throwing you into
confusion, whoever that may be,
will have to pay the penalty.
Galatians 5:10
12. Brothers and sisters, if I am still
preaching circumcision, why am
I still being persecuted? In that
case the offense of the cross has
been abolished.
Galatians 5:11
13. As for those agitators, I wish
they would go the whole way
and emasculate themselves!
Galatians 5:12
16. You who are trying to be
justified by the law have been
alienated from Christ; you have
fallen away from
grace.
Galatians 5:4
17. You, my brothers and sisters,
were called to be free. But do not
use your freedom to indulge the
flesh; rather, serve one another
humbly in love.
Galatians 5:13
18. For the entire law is fulfilled
in keeping this one
command: “Love your
neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:14
19. If you bite and devour each
other, watch out or you will
be destroyed by each other.
Galatians 5:15
21. So I say, walk by the Spirit,
and you will not gratify the
desires of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16
22. For the flesh desires what is
contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit
what is contrary to the flesh. They
are in conflict with each other, so
that you are not to do whatever you
want.
Galatians 5:17
23. But if you are led by the
Spirit, you are not under the
law.
Galatians 5:18
24. The acts of the flesh are
obvious: sexual immorality,
impurity and debauchery;
Galatians 5:19
26. and envy; drunkenness, orgies,
and the like. I warn you, as I did
before, that those who live like
this will not inherit the kingdom
of God.
Galatians 5:21
27. But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, forbearance,
kindness, goodness,
faithfulness,
Galatians 5:22
29. Those who belong to Christ
Jesus have crucified the flesh
with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24
30. Since we live by the Spirit,
let us keep in step with the
Spirit.
Galatians 5:25
31. Let us not become conceited,
provoking and envying each
other.
Galatians 5:26
32. But when the Holy Spirit controls our
lives he will produce this kind of fruit
in us: love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control; and here
there is no conflict with Jewish laws.
