Re-Purposed for Walking With Jesus Galatians 6:11-18 (ESV)

See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who
would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they
may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even those who
are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire
to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. But
far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the
world. For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creation. And as for all who walk by
this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of
God. From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my
body the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
Walking with Jesus is both a personal and a communal
commitment. Galatians 6:11 (ESV)

Walking with Jesus creates a reciprocal relationship of
crucifixion between us and the world around us. Galatians 6:12-14
(ESV)

But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I
to the world.
Walking with Jesus makes us a new creation marked by peace and
mercy. Galatians 6:15-18 (ESV)

For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision,
but a new creation. And as for all who walk by this rule, peace
and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. From now on
let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of
Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit,
brothers. Amen.
