How blessed are those who know the true Gospel.
'When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying "Abba Father"
Let us rejoice to see God at work!
Observe, not the reinstatement of law!
God's objective is relationship - sons !
Our acceptance is by virtue of His Son!
New life springs forth by His Spirit to connect with God as Father !
As God has done for 6000 years, he gives a promise and the blessing comes to those who believe it, and live by it. Human nature wants to work it all out independent of God ( and then wonder why it all goes wrong ) .
Let me give an example of relevant promises:-
John 1.12 'but to as many as received HIM, to them gave He power to become the children of God"
Hebrews 13.5 " I will never leave you nor forsake you"
2 Peter 3.13 "But according to His promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells."
Revelation 22.12 " Behold I am coming soon, bringing My recompense with Me... "
May God deliver us all from the slavery of law keeping, the deception of religious ritual, the falsity of human effort and the lie of denying who Jesus really is - the Son of God revealed from heaven.
