“It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation. May God’s peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle; they are the new people of God.”
Galatians 6:15–16
encouragement for today
This is the bottom line in the Christian faith: Are we being changed into new and different people? Mercy and peace characterize people who truly trust Christ alone and are being transformed to be like Jesus. This is the measure of your spiritual growth: Are you continually being changed from the inside out?
