People who are in prison for their faith in Christ are actually freer than those in the world who are afraid to share what they believe. Freedom starts when we admit that we are a slave to our sin. A truly free man is moved by knowing that Jesus paid for our sin. God's word gives us courage because it actually exposes our fears.

The Galatian church had forgotten who Jesus Christ was and they were trying to earn their salvation but it is only by faith in Jesus Christ that we are justified. The Galatian church was allowing the doctrine of doing good works to earn salvation. Paul corrected them and he reminded them that salvation comes from the work Jesus did on the cross and only Jesus can produce the fruit of the Spirit.
In Galatians 3, Paul is calling out the church in Galatia because they have been “bewitched” and they have forgotten about Jesus and they are trying to live by their flesh and not the Holy Spirit. As believers, we must read the word of God and remain focused on the task at hand that God has before us and not get distracted by the world.
There is two kingdoms (Jesus’ Kingdom v Satan’s) and when we place our faith in Jesus, we start living by new rules. Christians are called to live by the word of God and have a biblical worldview. We no longer live according to the flesh and we work hardly unto the Lord and we take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ -2 Cor. 10: 5.
2 Timothy 2 talks about suffering like a good soldier of Jesus Christ and how we are not to get entangled in civilian affairs. As Christians we need to develop good habits like reading the word of God so that we can remain resolute for Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 5 gives us great instruction on how we should love our wife. We look to Christ who first loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that it would be holy and without blemish. We men have the responsibility to love our wife like Christ loved the church. We must study the word of God, remove any hindrances, and help our wife be conformed into the image of Christ.
