Your newness in Christ is what counts

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. Galatians 6:15 

Your religious ethics, your services at the Church are not acceptable if your life is not sanctified. That is having a consecrated life of which shows that you are genuinely born new through Christ Jesus. 

While addressing the Church at Galatia Paul emphasized them having a new life in Christ even when they have been circumcised. 

Some certain people who have been circumcised among them considered themselves righteous but still don’t have a sanctified life in Christ. The Bible termed this sanctification as the circumcision of the heart. Romans 2:29. 

Every Christian may have some distinctive doctrines. It is very important to distinguish your newness in Christ and your doctrine. 

Your activeness in the Church may be good, but is your life sanctified? Your newness in Christ is what counts. 

Dear reader, I am glad that you are blessed this morning. Have a consecrated life with God. Make Him your priority today if you’re yet to do so.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me build a consecrated life in you.
