You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth. Galatians 4:7 http://www.dailybiblestudy.org
7 Wherefore [hoste] thou art [ei] no more [ouketi] a servant [doulos], but [alla] a son [huios]; and [de] if [ei] a son [huios], then [kai] an heir [kleronomos] of God [theos] through [dia] Christ [Christos]. KJV-Interlinear
7 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. NASB
In eternity past, God came up with a plan to create creatures, living free thinking beings, who would one day share all of the universe and heaven with him. God sent into existence, as it were, angels. Knowing that in creating creatures who have free volition and free thinking, and knowing that they are not god’s themselves, and therefore imperfect beings, sooner or later they would fail. And they did. All of the angels failed and fell away from God. Two thirds of them repented and came back to God while the other third remained obstinate, rejecting God, and continue to this day following satan. Then God sent into the world another creature called man. Since the angels lost their inheritance as it were, now man who is a lesser being has the opportunity to take their place in the position of heir to the universe. But the same pattern follows for man. Man is imperfect, man has free will and is able to freely think for himself, and therefore man also failed. Then God sent into the world the mosaic law. This was a system of instruction that clearly demonstrates man’s inability to make himself perfect, and therefore the need for someone else. Until that someone else came along, man was in effect enslaved to the works of the world with no way out. Man had a promise from God but as yet that promise had not been fulfilled. Then God sent into the world, Jesus, who is the second person of the Trinity and therefore equal with God, but was also born a man to not only be equal with man, but to fulfill the law in order to abrogate the law and terminate its hold over humanity. The promise God made to Adam, for a Savior, and to Abraham, for an inheritance, and to David, for an eternal dynasty, meant that humanity had to be free from its bondage to slavery, and made a child of God, in the family of God, in order to become a legitimate heir of God. This among many other things, was accomplished on the cross. The cross released us not only from enslavement to sin, but also our enslavement to the mosaic law which demanded a perfect life through works, which no man could accomplish. Therefore being free, we are able to receive our role as firstborn sons, and heirs of God. This was all accomplished, not by our own works, not by our own efforts, not by our own abilities in anyway. This was accomplished only by the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Now is the time to post a prayer. End Of Lesson Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth. |
