The Promise Driven Life

The Promise Driven Life

• O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It
  was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was
  publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you
  only this Did you receive the Spirit by works of
  the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so
  foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now
  being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so
  many things in vain--if indeed it was in vain?
  Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works
  miracles among you do so by works of the law, or
  by hearing with faith--
• (Galatians 31-5)

Foolish Galatians

• Run John Run the law demands,
• but gives me neither feet nor hands.
• Far greater news the Gospel brings,
• it bids me to fly and gives me wings.
