—Galatians 3:1-5

You may receive an award at school or work based on how you followed the rules. However, as a believer, you received the Holy Spirit not because of your ability to keep God’s Law, but because you believed in Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection. Nonetheless, we should not disobey God’s commands simply because we received salvation and the Holy Spirit through Jesus. We prove we love Jesus when we keep His commandments (John 14:15). There is no way to earn our way into God’s family, but only through Jesus’ sacrifice we are now called children of God. Likewise, we received the Holy Spirit because we believed in Jesus.
