This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.

Song of Songs 1:1 - 3:11

- The bride and groom express mutual love and longing in poetic dialogue, praising each other's beauty and yearning to be together.

- The bride searches for her beloved at night, finds him, and they delight in intimate affection amid springtime imagery of blossoming love.

Galatians 3:1-29

- Paul rebukes the Galatians for turning from faith to works of law after receiving the Spirit; Abraham was justified by faith, not law.

- The law reveals sin and leads to Christ, the promised seed; believers are sons of God through faith, heirs with no distinction between Jew and Gentile.
