Practicing the Law of Christ

Posted February 26, 2018 | Judith Ingram

Scripture

Galatians 6:1-3 (NLT)

Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
