Galatians 3:1-6
When you heard this message, of Jesus, the Son of God dying on a cross for your sins, and risen and alive forever, you believed! Something happened in your heart, and you believed! You turned from your own efforts at good works, and you believed in what God has done through Christ. You received the Holy Spirit, just as God had promised a long time ago. And now by faith you are alive and free and enjoying God’s continuing work in your lives.
