Paul writes to the Galatians (verses 4:1-11) to remind them that they should live as heirs and not as slaves in their relationship with Christ. They have been adopted by God, giving them freedom in Christ. They shouldn’t slip back into religious rules after experiencing true freedom. The same goes for us today—we can’t let legalism, old habits, or distractions pull us away from what Jesus has done for us. Let’s stay focused on Him and walk in the freedom He’s given us!

Jesus has a lot to say about discipleship. When Jesus called His disciples, He didn’t invite them to merely believe in Him. They were to follow Him with their whole lives. He encouraged those wanting to follow Him to “count the cost” of living for Him. He challenged them to let the old things in their former, dead lives "be buried.” We must count the cost of following Christ—which is death.
