Galatians 3:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ I ask you again, does God give you the power of the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you as a result of your trying to obey the Jewish laws? No, of course not. It is when you believe in Christ and fully trust him.

⁶ Abraham had the same experience—God declared him fit for heaven only because he believed God’s promises. ⁷ You can see from this that the real children of Abraham are all the men of faith who truly trust in God.
