No Distractions, Day 9

Keep your thinking in check. Read Galatians 3:15-22.

Sometimes, in our quest to understand things, we end up overthinking things. Our understanding of who God is, and what he has done for us, is really quite simple. However, we often overcomplicate it and try to add in things that just simply don’t need to be there.

The Galatians were doing that very thing. They had learned that Christ died for them and that his sacrifice was enough. However, they were now going back and trying to add in all the pieces of the law that they had been taught, trying to understand how to make that fit with the truth of Christ’s sacrifice. Paul is spelling it out for them, so that way they can see how those two go together. However, only Christ’s sacrifice is what brings about salvation. We can’t allow our overthinking to negate what we know to be true. Don’t overthink.
