THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD - PART 311 J

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another Gospel. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you other than that which we have preached to you, let him or her be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel to you other than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man but by the revelation of JESUS the Christ.

And when Peter and John, who seemed to be pillars amongst the brethren, perceived that God’s grace was imparted to me, they gave to me (Paul) and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship so that we should go preach to the Gentiles, and likewise, they would preach to the Jews.
Now to Abraham and to his Seed (the Seed of promise) were the promises made. Note that God did not say "And to seeds." Abraham's natural seed as in numerous or many. But rather as of one SEED. And to thy SEED, the promised SEED saith the scriptures, which is the Christ.

In this context, Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness. In today's world, understand this. That those who do believing and have faith, these believers are the children of Abraham. The scripture prophesied that God would justify the Gentiles through faith, for it is recorded that the gospel was first preached to Abraham. God saying to Abraham that, "In your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed." It is this confidence that we can be assured of our salvation. Like the scriptures state, Brethren, we which embrace faith are blessed even as Abraham was."

And thus, when the fullness of the time was come for the promised Seed to be manifest, it was then that God sent forth His Son, clothed in prone to sin flesh of a woman - Mary's natural being under the dispensation of the law. But whether Mary knew it or not, the SEED inside her womb was the free. God’s plan was to redeem men from under the law. Rescue us from the law. So that through redemption, mankind would have an opportunity to become God’s son’s through God’s adoption plan of redemption.

Through faith in God's redemptive plan we are now sons and daughters. God has sent forth into us the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying ABBA, Father. Therefore brethren, we are no more servants. Instead, we are sons and daughters - heirs of God through redemptive faith in JESUS the Christ. Indeed, brethren we are even as Isaac was promised and likewise the children of God’s promise. We are the children of God by faith in JESUS the Christ. This is God's promise to us.

For as many of you as have been "baptized into JESUS" and have put on Christ, the promise is to you and your children and those who are afar off. And as a consequence, there is now no difference between a believing Jew or a Greek. There is neither a difference between a slave nor free. There is neither male nor female. For we are all one now in JESUS the Christ!

And if we are believers in JESUS the Christ, then we are also the offspring of the promised SEED. Scriptural references for this post can be read in the Book of Galatians from the Bible. Peace to all the brethren. Peace be!
