“The Real Children of Abraham”

“The Real Children of Abraham”

 

What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would make the Gentiles right in His Sight because of their FAITH. God proclaimed this Good News to Abraham long ago when He said, “ALL nations will be BLESSED through you.   Galatians 3:8

The Apostle Paul, was trying to tell the Galatians that SALVATION and the Gift of the HOLY SPIRIT, is NOT because they have OBEYED the LAW. For that to be the case, they would HAVE to KEEP ALL the LAW, ALL of it, ALL THE TIME.  EVERY DAY, EVERY MINUTE, EVERY SECOND, and it is IMPOSSIBLE for ANYBODY to do so, unless they are PERFECT in EVERY WAY.  Now, you may THINK YOU ARE PERFECT in EVERY WAY, try telling that to GOD, because you are DEFINITELY NOT!  No one IS.  Only one, The LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Paul went on to tell them that; Abraham BELIEVED God, and God counted him as RIGHTEOUS because of ABRAHAM’S FAITH, it was NOT because he KEPT ALL the COMMANDS that are written in GOD’S BOOK of the LAW.  It is because of ABRAHAM’S FAITH in the ALMIGHTY GOD; ALL nations will be BLESSED through ABRAHAM. This means that ALL who put their FAITH. In CHRIST JESUS SHARE the SAME BLESSING that ABRAHAM received because of his FAITH.

However, those who DEPEND on the Law to make them RIGHT with GOD are under His CURSE. (V10) The Scripture says: “CURSED is EVERYONE WHO DOES not observe AND obey ALL the commands that are written in GOD’S Book of the Law.” So, it is CLEAR that NO ONE can be made RIGHT with God by trying to KEEP the WHOLE LAW.  For the Scriptures say, “It is through FAITH that a RIGHTEOUS person has LIFE.” (v11)

But Christ Jesus has RESCUED US from the CURSE pronounced by the law.  When He was HUNG on the CROSS, He took upon Himself the CURSE for our WRONGDOING.  For it is written in the Scriptures, “CURSED is EVERYONE who is hung on a tree.” Through Christ Jesus, God has BLESSED the GENTILES with the SAME blessing He promised to Abraham; that WE who are BELIEVERS might receive the PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT through FAITH.

So, the question is: Have you been RESCUED FROM the CURSE? Or are you one who is still searching for the WAY to an ETERNAL LIFE with JESUS CHRIST, who PAID in FULL the PENALTY for YOUR SINS?  This is what YOU MUST DO to have the ASSURANCE of an ETERNITY with JESUS and GOD in Heaven and ALL its BLESSINGS that are waiting for YOU.

You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who gave His Life, to SAVE your SOUL.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU and that He IS ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK HIM for His FORGIVENESS. You MUST be WILLING TO TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT GOD’S GIFT of SALVATION and become a REAL CHILD of Abraham and the ALMIGHTY GOD.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can HE’S WAITING and COMING SOON!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
