Galatians 1 &2

Thank you, Father, for your grace and peace. You sent the Lord Jesus who gave himself for my sins, and he delivered me from this present evil age according to your will, Father. To you be glory forever and ever.

You, Father, called me, through the grace of Christ, to your gospel. It is the gospel that was preached by and written by your apostles and your prophets. It is the gospel I believed when Christ Jesus revealed himself to me.

Throughout my life, you have given me teachers that opened your word to me, and you have put witnesses in my life who lived your gospel in front of me.

From before my beginning, I belonged to you, and when it pleased you, you revealed your son to me. I repented and turned toward you, Father, and began to follow Jesus through your word and communion with your Holy Spirit.

For many years now, I have been your man, knowing that, by your grace, I was justified before you completely and always by Jesus’s life and death and resurrection.
