Galatians | Week 5
From belief to faith
What does it mean to BELIEVE in God? Biblically speaking, it is more than just intellectual agreement, but rather an active trust. The Galatians were choosing to put their trust into their own goodness and efforts rather than the character and faithfulness of God. Where have you been placing your trust? Is there an area of your life that you’ve struggled to actively BELIEVE God? Let’s continue to get to know the character of God so that we can wholeheartedly believe in His trustworthiness. Let’s take steps this week together to actively put our faith in Jesus. Whether that’s trusting Him for the first time, stepping out in baptism, or letting go of old habits of addiction or perfectionism; let’s jump off and experience the freedom Jesus intended by fully trusting Him with our lives!

Abram’s faith was being tested, even before God renamed him Abraham. He had no children but God promised him not only a son, but more heirs than there were stars in the sky.
