Day 2: Pleasing God

Read Galations Ch. 1

Principal Question: What are four major reasons Christ died for us?
Gal. 1:4, 1 Pet. 3:18, John 3:16, Rom. 5:8

Major Characteristics that make us easy targets for false teachings as the were the Galations:
1. 2 Pet. 2:1-2 We can't recognize a lie if we don't know the Truth. Ignorance of God's Word.
2. 2 Cor. 11:3-4 Boredom with the Christian life.
3. Gal. 1:10 Trying to win the approval of others.

Personal Discussion Question: For you, what would it mean to seek only God's approval?

Moore states, "Approval and servanthood are connected because we become immediate slaves to the persons from whom we seek approval. Only ONE cares for you with a perfect and unconditional love. Only ONE can make 'all things work together for good' (Rom.8:28). Only ONE can safely, yes, gloriously enslave you!"

Today's Treasure: "Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." Gal. 1:10
