Today I am three days clean from my sin. I almost fell last night but God gave me the strength to withstand.

Today I read Galatians 1-3 and a few things popped out at me. Galatians 1:11 says that God gave Paul the gospel. It didn't come from man. This means that the gospel is the truth, not just a story.

Galatians 2:6 says that those who seem important are not so important in the end. God doesn't look at outside appearance. This is especially important to remember when our society is so materialistic. Just this morning, the radio said that the perfect man is rich, successful at 40, looks like a celebrity, and is a doctor. But what about respect for others and following God? It comes back to Psalms, where it says "There is none righteous, no, not one."

And on the topic of righteousness, I loved Galatians 2:17. Even if a Christian sins, it does not mean Christ promotes sin. It just proves that we are fallen and need Christ to help us.
