Christ defeated the laws of religion to set you free!

“Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3:23-29

Good Morning,

Waking up with God brings a new day of challenges for all believers. I ask God to be my Keeper and preserve my going out and my coming in. And, I ask for the strength of the Lord and He never fails me.

The first words I heard from God today were “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God”. You and I have to be centered in Christ and He will take care of all our needs.

Now back to Galatians…

This discourse tends to be a little laborious in dealing with the law and the promise of Christ.

Here are my notes on the scripture above:

The laws given to Moses caused all the Israelites to become enslaved to obeying rules.

The law was a guardian to show the Israelites the values of God until the coming of Christ.

Without the law, the Israelites were free to sin since they lacked the moral code of God.

You are no longer under the guardian of the law with Christ; your guardian is the Holy Spirit living within you.

In Christ, you are a child of God by faith in the promise given to Abraham.

The decision for Christ causes you to become a new creature in Christ Jesus. You die to self and live for Christ.

You become baptized into the death and resurrected life of Christ.

The Holy Spirit clothes you with the garments of Christ. Old things pass away and all things become new.

There is no discrimination with Christ. He accepts all without any prejudice.

If you belong to Christ you are an heir of the promise made to Abraham. You live with God forever!

Have a good day and give God praise for His greatness and glory!
