A few key verses stood to me while reading these
chapters.
Chapter 5:6 says. "For in Christ Jesus neither
circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is
faith expressing itself through love."
The last part of this verse stood out for me. We are saved by faith and our love for others
will be shown through our faith.
Another verse that I really like is Galatians 5:22
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. These are wonderful character traits but they cannot
be achieved on our own but through God's help.
Lastly, the final verse that I will mention is Galatians
5:14 "The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor
as yourself'. If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you
will be devastated by each other."
These verses are a good reminder to myself that it is so easy to get
caught up and be critical of others around me but to remember to love each
other.
