"That's My King!" In The Book of Galatians!

My King gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age!
He gives us great freedom that can never be taken away!
He's the great, glorious, beautiful, and all satisfying object of our justifying faith!
He's the only object of our justifying faith!
He justifies by His perfect, pure, propitiating works!
In other words, we're saved by works alone! His works alone!

Are you resting in His works alone today?!

He loved me and gave Himself up for me!
If you're a Christian, He loved you and gave Himself up for you!
He lives in us!
We live our lives by faith in Him!
Though He did abide by all things written in the Book of the Law and did them, He was cursed by being hanged on a tree as a substitute for sinners!
In Him we enjoy the blessing of Abraham and receive the promised Spirit through faith!

That's my King! I wonder if you know Him by faith alone today?!

He's the great, singular Offspring of Abraham to Whom God made His promises!
In Him we are all sons of God through faith!
If you've been baptized into Him, then you've put Him on, and you wear Him everywhere you go!
In Him there's neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, but you're all one in Christ!
If you belong to my King Jesus, then you're children of Abraham and heirs according to promise!
His Spirit is in your hearts crying “Abba Father!”
Through my King we're no longer slaves but sons!
The very image of my King is being formed in all His people!
He causes the baron woman to rejoice!
He causes the desolate one to be desolate no more!

That's my King!

He's set us free from all evil slaveries and made us a slave unto Himself alone!
He's an amazing advantage to us, and if have Him, we have everything!
In Him all that counts is faith working through love!
He was made sinful flesh on that cross though He knew no sin!
He was made sexual immorality!
He was made impurity!
He was made idolatry!
He was made sorcery!
He was made enmity!
He was made strife!
He was made jealousy!
He was made fits of anger!
He was made rivalries!
He was made dissensions!
He was made divisions!
He was made envy!
He was made drunkenness!
He was made orgies!
And He was cast out of the kingdom of His Father's pleasure on that cross so that you could be saved from all your works of the wicked flesh!
If you belong to my King then you have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires!

That's my King! Are you crucifying your flesh today?!

He's full of love!
He's full of joy!
He's full of peace!
He's full of patience!
He's full of kindness!
He's full of goodness!
He's full of faithfulness!
He's full of gentleness!
He's full of self-control!
And those who belong to Him are full of all that too because His Spirit lives in them!
His instrument of gruesome execution – that bloody cross – is the emblem of our greatest boast!

That's my King! That's my King!
