Get There by Not Trying Harder

Trying harder can leave Christians frustrated when old sins remain. Galatians 3 says the Spirit comes through faith in Christ, not moral effort, and He continues changing hearts as they rest in Christ's finished work. Abraham was counted righteous because he believed God, showing that acceptance comes as a gift while believers remain imperfect. Jesus bore the law's curse on the cross, so forgiven people can turn from false saviours and pursue holiness with gratitude rather than guilt. Bible Reference: Galatians 3:1–14 Preacher: KJ Tromp
