Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her Bible study on the book of Galatians.

We all desire God's love and to be right with Him.

While we may try to earn that love or achieve perfection, the truth is there's nothing we can do to achieve it.

But there is one answer God has given us, His grace.

God wants us to experience his freedom in every area of life.

And on today's program, Joyce will show us through the Book of Galatians how we can exchange

our trying for trusting and rely on His grace to become everything he has created us to be.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

You know, Paul told Timothy, he said, when you're preaching, urge, warn, rebuke, and encourage.

He didn't say just encourage

and make everybody feel great about themselves,

tell everybody how wonderful they are

and how marvelous they are

and how, no matter what they do, they're forgiven.

Those things are all true,

but if that's all we hear,

is anybody awake out there?

Amen. If that's all we hear

then you're trying to live on dessert

and we know that anybody who just lives on dessert

is eventually going to become very unhealthy
