Walk by the Rule

Galatians 6:16-18    
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.  17 From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.   18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.


Paul sums up the call to sound teaching and the freedom of the grace in Christ alone with a reminder of God’s blessings of His mercy and peace for those who follow Christ in spirit and in truth.  He then reminds them of the suffering he endured for the cross and gospel’s sake for them as the answer to detractors and false teachers, ending with a prayer for the Lord’s grace to work alongside them in these things.  We also have His Spirit of truth and the sound truth of the Scriptures to lead us safely through all attacks, both from without and within.  Grace and peace as you keep in step with these.
