Galatians 6:1-10
vs 1-5 Help a brother who is in sin. Be careful not to fall into temptation as well. Do not think of yourself as more then you are.
vs 6 Share the good things that you are learning.
vs 7-10 For each action there is a reaction. What effort you put into something there will be that return. What you plant, and work the soil, it will benefit you in the long term with a good harvest.
When an opportunity presents itself, do good to all.

Day 30/60
This makes me half way through this bible challenge. It is taking me a lot longer then I should. I hope you guys are doing well too.
Galatians 5
vs 1 So many people burden themselves with things that we have no control. Do not be a slave to these things seek help from others and hand over your problems to God.
vs 2-6 the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. You do not need to perform a ritual to make yourself okay with God. It is about faith and love.
vs 7-8 What happened to you that took your eyes off the truth?
vs 9-12 Be careful what is taking you over. A small amount of yeast has a great affect on bread, just like people can have on your life.
vs 13-15 live in freedom. This is what we were called to be. But do not use your freedom to fall into temptation. Rather serve people in love. The law can be summed up in loving your neighbor. Do not tear each other up.
vs 16-18 Live by the Spirit and not your own sinful desire.
vs 19-21 Sinful nature- sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfishness, dissension, factions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, etc
-----Those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God---------
vs 22-23 Fruit of the Spirit
1. love
2. joy
3. peace
4. patience
5. kindness
6. goodness
7. faithfulness
8. gentleness
9. self control
live by these things
vs 24-25 kill the sinful nature, live by the Spirit. Walk the walk.

Day 29/60
Galatians 3:19-4:7
vs 19-22 The law was added because of transgressions until the Seed arrived. (The Seed here is a reference to Christ.) The whole world is a prisoner to sin, and to become free from this sin is to have faith in Christ.
vs 23-25 This law was supposed to lead us to Christ, so we could be free through faith.
vs 26-29 It does not matter where you have come from, what your past is, but through faith we are all heirs to God's kingdom.
4:1-2 We are able to own all that God has to offer. Even though we give up all of ourselves to follow Christ.
vs 3-7 God sent us his Son to redeem us, who are under the law. So we could be full heirs. So you are no longer a slave but a son or daughter of God.

Day 28/60
Galatians 2:11-21
vs 11-13 Paul is adamant about Peter being a hypocrite. He lived one way with some people and a different way with others.
vs 14-16 He asks Peter how he forces the Gentiles to live like Jews when Peter who is Jewish lives like a Gentile. How can you teach others to live this way, when you yourself do not? A man is justified by faith.
vs 17-21 It is all about a life lived after God. We sacrifice ourselves to allow Christ to live in and through us. We need God's grace.

2 Cor 8:1-15
vs 1-7 The generosity of the Macedonian church is referred to in this passage. They are so joyful about the grace they have received that there reaction is to give, even if they do not have much.

Day 26/60
2 Cor 6:14-7:1
vs 14-16 Do not be yoked with unbelievers. There should be nothing in common that we have enough to consider to date or marry. There is no reason for missionary dating or marrying. There is no promise that you will be able to make your beliefs their beliefs. And it will only bring issues among morality. values and convictions in the home.
vs 17-7:1 Set apart yourself for the things of God. This does not mean we cannot be around but to date and marry someone who should be so much different then ourselves is not God's plan for us. We do this for our God.

2 Cor 5-6:2
vs 1-5 Take off what is mortal and cling to what is eternal.
vs 6-10 Live by faith, not by sight. Things are not always what you see, yet faith is something we cling to and hope for. We make it our goal to please God. We will all face judgement one day.
vs 11-15 Christ love compels us to no longer live our own live but we give our own lives as a sacrifice.
vs 16-21 If we are in Christ we are a new creation. We are different people. We have died to ourselves and now live for Christ's sake. Because of Christ's sacrifice we are able to become righteous.
6:1-2 God's grace is amazing and the time of salvation is now.
