Galatians 3:13-14

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us (because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)  in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

The Holy Spirit makes His residence with us by faith in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit moves in mysterious ways that I do not fully understand, like being involved in the process of salvation. Who is it that has the power to turn our hearts from unbelief to faith? It is only by the power of God that the hearts of men radically change course, whether by instruction, crisis, encounter, emotion, or some other way. All of this is to reinforce that Christ is the Master Key to our relationship with our loving Father in Heaven, and the door to His heart cannot be moved by any other means. It is magnificent grace that even Gentiles could be restored to Him – and yet we are not merely restored, but empowered as well by His own Spirit. Thank you Jesus, for accomplishing the impossible work that only You could! You are worthy Lord!
