Galatians 1

6I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ.1:6 Some manuscripts read through loving mercy. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News 7but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.8Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you. 9I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed.10Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.

Lord God my Father,

Keep me from looking away from you and placing my desire above your plan. Keep me in your Truth so I may know deceit. Bring me into unity with others who desire you and use me for kingdom work.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
