Galatians 3:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² Tell me this one thing: How did you receive the Holy Spirit? Did you receive the Spirit by following the law? No! You received the Spirit because you heard the Good News and believed it. ³ You began your life in Christ by the Spirit. Now do you try to continue it by your own power? That is foolish. ⁴ You have experienced many things. Were all those experiences wasted? I hope not!
