\"letter-to-the-galatians\"<\/a>The transformational work of the gospel is talked about in this chapter.\u00a0 Salvation brings a crucifictional work in our lives.\u00a0 Christ was crucified for us and we are crucified with Christ at salvation.\u00a0 Paul said it is no longer him that lives but it is Christ that lives in him.\u00a0 The battle is to understand the physical works that we should do after salvation, coupled with the spiritual work Christ is doing in us.\u00a0 There are ways we should live because of Christ and salvation but there are no works we do that complete our salvation.\u00a0 The Jews thought the Gentiles should be circumcised if they were truly saved.\u00a0 Many today believe one must be baptized to complete the work of salvation.\u00a0 Salvation stands on its own in and through Christ alone.\u00a0 However, we do see for church membership they were saved first, then baptized, and after salvation and baptism they were added to the church.\u00a0 It is not to belittle baptism, however it should never be added in as part of the work of salvation.\u00a0 Above all it should never be neglected for it is commanded by God.<\/p>\n

Christians should live in Christ but grace abounds even when we do not.\u00a0 I pray you rest in Christ alone today for salvation and nothing but the blood of Christ is your security for salvation.\u00a0 I also pray that you will live godly in Christ Jesus as a light in our dark world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":1167,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","filesize_raw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bible-reading"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2754"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2754\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2755,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2754\/revisions\/2755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
