But Christ has rescued us from the curse
pronounced by the law. When He was hung on the cross, He took upon himself the
curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, "Cursed is
everyone who is hung on a tree." Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the
Gentiles with the same blessing He promised to Abraham, so that we who are
believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith. Galatians
3:13-14

God has His chosen people—but He graciously
extended that to include the Gentiles of the world that believed in Him. Thanks
be to God. As a Gentile I feel especially blessed to know God…and to be not
only known by Him, but adopted by Him.
So you have not received a spirit that makes
you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as
his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father." Romans 8:15
Are you part of God’s family? It’s a
decision available to everyone…anywhere in the world. You choose.
Prayer
~ Thank You, God, for blessing and including the Gentiles into Your family.
